The very first fountain in Minsk with the only surviving pre-revolutionary sculpture . The fountain with the sculpture group "Boy playing with a swan" was built in 1874, in honor of the opening of the city's water pipeline. The sculpture "The Boy with the Swan]" created by the Berlin sculptor Theodor Kalide for the fountain of the Charlottenburg Palace Park. It was one of the first works of the sculptor, which brought him success. Later, more and more copies began to appear, and there are still more than 200 such sculptures around the world. During the Great Patriotic War, the sculptural composition was damaged, and the restoration was carried out by the sculptor Zair Azgur.

Finally, they made an excellent, decent framing of the fountain bowl. But it was better to install the frogs sitting on the leaves of water lilies not on granite, but below, where the water lilies grow in reality. At the level of the water surface of the pool. It would look more beautiful. Now it has become noticeable that the fastening of metal to stone is beginning to deteriorate. From the point of view of historical significance, as can be seen in old photos, the figurine of a boy with a swan and a pedestal are valuable, but the framing was not done right away. And now there are fears that due to annual temperature fluctuations and other factors, granite will collapse.
