There is a fountain in the market square in almost every city, so there is one here. Its appearance and location match each other.

The figure of a goat refers to the well-known and popular Kashubian song "Tata i kòza". This is a song quite close to the capital of Kashubia, for example thanks to Franciszek Kwidzinski, manager of the Regional Song and Dance Ensemble of Kashubia, who added a verse to the song, originally created by Jan Trepczyk.
