History / Description: The sculpture of the fountain was destroyed in 1992 by an act of vandalism. Without the figure looks the fountain, on the edge of a gargoyle is pretty "empty" from. The remains of the figure of Neptune made of red sandstone are stored in the warehouse of the Historical Museum. 

Special: Possibly a copy of the destroyed sculpture is created.

Fountain at 23-Jun-2012 was plain. Sometime about October 2012, a decorative column was added, dated 1706.
