The Anspach Fountain (French: Fontaine Anspach; Dutch: Anspachfontein) is an eclectic-style fountain-obelisk erected between 1895 and 1897 in the centre of the Place de Brouckère/De Brouckèreplein in Brussels, Belgium.[1] Designed by the architect Charles-Émile Janlet [fr], it is dedicated to the memory of Jules Anspach, a former mayor of the City of Brussels.[2][3][1]

The monument was dismantled in 1973 following construction work on the Brussels Metro.[4] It was reinstalled in 1981 in its current location on the Square des Blindés/Pantsertroepensquare, between the Quai aux Briques/Baksteenkaai and the Quai au Bois à Brûler/Brandhoutkaai, in the Sainte-Catherine/Sint Katelijne neighbourhood.[5][3][1]
