Standing in the shadow of the Kościuszko statue on pl. Wolności (right in front of Café Wiedeńska) is Łódź’s favourite fountain. Originally constructed in the 1930s by students from the local arts school the fountain was allowed to fall into disrepair in the post-war years. The renovated version was finally unveiled in July 2004, and its proximity to the nearby church make it a favoured backdrop for newlyweds to pose in front of. Its moniker, 'The Fountain of Love,' stems from the legend that if two lovers wash their faces in its water their love will be eternal.
