Installed in the grounds of the Medical Garden as part of its comprehensive reconstruction in 1985–1988 were a pair of entrance sculptures, drinking fountains, and Swan Fountain as designed by the authors’ collective of sculptor Rastislav Miklánek and architect Pavel Mikšík. 

The garden restoration project was developed by the architect Alfonz Torma and the sculptor Tibor Schotter. Today, the artworks form part of the modern sculptural setting of the Medical Garden, a space first developed during the 1870s as a Baroque garden of the palace of Prince Aspremont. 

The drinking fountain comprises three vertically mounted stone cylinders of various heights and sizes. The upper surface is recessed, forming a small container for collecting water. At its centre is a circular opening with drinking nozzles from which water flows into a vertical groove carved into the outside of the cylinder.  

The fountain stands on a circular paved area.
