The Sheaf Fountain, Baroque fountain at Peterhof Palace, Russia.
The Sheaf Fountain displays intricate water features with bell-shaped formations and bronze gilt sculptures depicting Apollino, Faun, Bacchus, and Psyche within Monplaisir Garden.
Peter the Great initiated the construction of the fountain system at Peterhof Palace to create water displays comparable to Western European royal residences.
The fountain stands as one of over 60 water features at Peterhof Palace, representing Russian imperial engineering through a gravity-based water distribution system.
The fountain operates daily from May through October, with opening celebrations featuring classical music performances and light displays at the end of May.
The Sheaf Fountain functions without mechanical pumps, utilizing natural springs and gravitational force from elevated gardens to power its water displays.
