Well of Moses

Very nice sculpture of Klaus Schluter, a masterpiece. Somewhat difficult to find as it it’s inside a health care institute, no worries there is free access

Ancient with a lot figures from the bible on it. The reservoir is still full of water. The hospital around was a monastary in old times. Visit is free.

As mentioned by others it is a longer walk and you'll easily take a wrong turn and then have to walk back, as the sculpture is located within a big walled hospital area with very few exits to the main street. But it is worth the detour. The preservation of this gothic masterpiece is impressive and the beauty of it immensely moving, as is the ability of the master behind this to convey distinct psychological traits of the prophets depicted. Entrance is free, perhaps there might be a bit of queue to enter the small pavillon that houses the well. A must-see in Dijon!

Impressing place inside the square of former abbey. 6 statues forming the basic monument of the pond - very realistic faces and detailed clothings and accessories. Problem: opening hours at the regular entry hall not valid. Had to take an open gate beside to enter the garden where the pond is sheltered inside a glass building. I recommend to visit the chapel nearby - entry from outside the yard.

It takes a bit of Google mapping to find this site but worth a visit. It costs €3.50 per adult to enter and visit this stunning historic well. It's history is even more spectacular (worth getting leaflets information from the entrance office) designed by Dutch artist, Claus Sluter. This was part of the Carthusian monastery of Chartreuse de Champmol and as a burial site of the Burgundian Duke Philip The Bold (Phillipe le Hardi whose burial is now housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon). This is a spectacular piece of fantastic work of sculptures of prophets and angels on a hexagonal base. The figures are of Moses, David, Jeremiah, Zachariah, Daniel and Isaiah with six weeping angels. You can still see the water on the base. It's a peaceful enclosure to spend time admiring the painted and gilded figures. Absolutely recommended for all ages to explore. It's inside the psychiatric hospital, La Chartreuse, of Dijon.

Spectacular group of beautiful carved more then life size sculptures of six prophets who foretold the coming and crucifixion of Christ. They were made by Dutch sculptor Claes Sluter in the 14th century for a well in a cloister court and were famous on their time and after. Now they are protected by a small glass house which is open until 18:00 It,s situated on the grounds of a large hospital complex and free to visit.

A very disappointing experience. Walked all the way from the centre of town to find this all locked up. And nobody about. The area itself is odd, in the middle of some psychiatric hospital. There was a large open gate we were able to walk through to see the well, behind glass. Save your time.
