More Information

Artists / in: no information
in operation since: Half of the 19th century

History / Description: In the middle of the back wall of the courtyard is the fountain-nymphs. The nymph of cast iron, which is crowned with flowers and leaves, stands on an octagonal plinth, located above the semi-circular trough. The water pours from a pitcher, which she holds in her hands. The niche is well above and around the well is completed with a triangular pediment.
Special: The Fountain can be visited only on weekdays during the day. At first glance it is difficult to see, because cars are often parked in front of her.
