The Fish Fountain dates from 1693 and was placed by the city council to provide the traders on the fish market with clean water for hygiene purposes.
Two water reservoirs on the Burcht supplied the Fish Fountain with water via a connection under the Nieuwe Rijn.
Jacob Roman, city architect of Leiden and court architect of William III, designed the fountain.
