Monastery well (captured spring) as the name suggests was directly next to the monastery church, a part of the monastery complex. Monasteries were always founded where a water supply was accessible. It was also the meeting point of the village, as laundry was washed here and all information was exchanged. Current appearance due to the renovation in 1980/81

The monastery fountain is open to visit year-round at all times, but it is only advisable from sunrise to sunset.
In the Middle Ages, the monastery fountain supplied the nearby convent of nuns with drinking water through wooden pipes (known as Deicheln). Later, it served the women of the village as a washing place. Planks were laid over the basin so that several people could do laundry at the same time. Therefore, the stream was also called Wäscherbach. It was also known and familiar to the population as the children's fountain. It was renovated and expanded by the municipality of Enkenbach-Alsenborn in 1980/81.
