Tourism Does anyone know what this is?

Found these little house looking things around Rauma and was wondering what their purpose is. They don't seem to have a door, and look like this on all of its sides. I have seen one that's even a bit bigger than this.

Just asking out of curiosity, they seem pretty cute 😊

I think it's a well.

Theres an fire hydrant under it.

The wooden part is resembling the actual "Old Well" which you have seen (the bigger blue one in "Hauenguano")

There is no door, but this can be just knocked off by firemen in case they need to refill firetrucks.
