Unfortunately, it was not working during my visit. I post a description found on the net:
The author of the project is a resident of Skórcz, a famous sculptor, a graduate of the famous Antoni Kenar school in Zakopane, Piotr Tyborski. The ceremonial unveiling of the fountain took place on September 27, 2002. The facility was built with the help of the City Hall, councilors and residents of Skórcz.
The figures placed in the fountain show a griffin and a starling, referring to an old legend that also became the basis of the Skórcza coat of arms. The legend is as follows:
"Once, a group of little children was playing in front of one of the huts. Suddenly, a bird of prey flew from the nearby woods and kidnapped one of them. As he flew into the forest, he encountered a predator that attacked him and took the child. Soon he put them alive, though heavily bloodied from When he was returning to the forest, he suddenly fainted, lost consciousness and fell to the ground. It turned out that in the fight for the child he was fatally stabbed by a predator. Since then, the griffin and starling people decided to permanently enter the coat of arms of their town. "
Now the leather market looks much better. The fountain is, in a way, a showcase of the town. It has multiple functions: historical, decorative and practical.
