Water for the Kremlin used to be obtained here
A wooden well more than 20 meters deep is right below you. Only its shaft has been preserved to this day. Now, it is mothballed for possible research in the future.
The map of the Kazan Fortress dated 1777 made it possible for the archaeologists to know about three wells existed on the territory of the preserve museum. It is believed that these wells were among the sources of water in the Kremlin before the advent of water supply here.
The well you stand next to is not on the map. This means that it appeared here later. It is also confirmed by archaeological research: the well shaft rests on a cultural layer of the XIX century. Most likely, this structure appeared around that time.
