The fountain is made entirely of cut limestone, the trough is also stone. It consists of a plinth and a stem ending with a cornice. A profiled cornice is placed on top of the masonry. Below it is a stone slab with a flat frame and the inscriptions "N.D.V." and "1894". A small, pointed niche is formed under the slab. A spout is located near the trough.

The fountain continues to work to this day, and the water is safe to drink.
