Construction of the OKD panel-housing estate began in 1963, and completion of its small square on Hornická Street was intended as the symbolic finale to the creation of this new part of the town. The central space of the estate was enclosed on two sides by single-storey service buildings (hairdresser’s, confectioner’s, textile shop, etc.) and a grocery store. The lawns and ornamental greenery in the middle were dominated by a fountain adorned with an abstract sculpture by academic sculptor Miroslav Rybička (b. 1928) from Jistebník. The work, mounted on a concrete plinth, consisted of ten curved metal plates, rounded at the top and bottom, which grew smaller towards the edges and bent ever more towards the centre. In the open space at the centre of the sculpture, the artist placed a glass disc.
With the piece having suffered badly from vandalism over the previous decade, in 2018 the town decided, as part of its wider revitalisation of the area, to restore the sculpture in cooperation with the artist. Rybička replaced the original copper plates with steel ones, adjusting their shape and curvature; the central glass lens and the plinth itself, now carved from sandstone, also differ from the original design.
