History

The fountain was erected from the donation of Herrmann Gusztáv according to the plans of the architect Steinhausz László. The statue depicts St. Elisabeth of Hungary with a child.

The Lutheran Herrmann Gusztáv was a rich merchant and a great patron of the town of Lőcse. He built the town's plumbing system, the orphanage, the girl's school and the chapel in the cemetery. He also donated a large sum for the construction of the hospital.
