Quack-monument, Municipal monument and fountain in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
The Quack Monument features a tall obelisk structure with four fountains at its base, constructed from terrazzo, granite, and bronze materials.
Following the death of city councilor Adolf Quack in 1920, funds were allocated to build this fountain monument in memory of his twin sister Marie.
The monument incorporates Art Deco design elements from the 1920s, reflecting the architectural preferences of early twentieth-century European public works.
Located at coordinates 51.843975, 5.857919, the monument stands at Quackplein, formerly part of Nassausingel, near the center of Nijmegen.
After being dismantled in 1957 due to traffic modifications, the monument's preserved fragments allowed for its complete reconstruction in 2000 at its original location.
