Fountain of Jas the Fisherman - a fountain in Sopot, located in the lower part of the representative promenade of the city - Bohaterów Monte Cassino Street. It was unveiled on April 5, 1998. The fountain was designed by architect Brunon Wandke and sculptor Stanislaw Szwechowicz. The fountain is crowned by a 240 cm high sculpture of a young man with a basket of fish on his head. This figure is a replica (enlarged - the original is about 160 cm) of a more than 100-year-old sculpture of unknown authorship, which until 1998 stood in one of Sopot's gardens on Dworcowa Street. Currently, another replica of it stands in the same place, while the original was moved to the City Council meeting room.
