Swarovski Fountain, Crystal art fountain at Swarovski Crystal Worlds, Wattens, Austria
The Swarovski Fountain is a water display at the entrance of Swarovski Crystal Worlds that creates visual patterns using glass and reflective surfaces. The structure uses crystal and glass elements to refract light and integrate it into the water composition.
The fountain was created in 1995 to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the Swarovski company. This project marked the moment when the company transformed from a crystal-cutting factory into a global artistic destination.
The fountain brings together craft traditions from multiple cultures, with artists from different countries collaborating on its design. Visitors can observe how European craftsmanship is expressed through the flowing water and crystal elements.
The fountain is accessible to visitors daily and features special lighting effects that become most visible as darkness falls. Plan to visit during warmer months when extended hours apply.
Beneath the fountain lie fourteen underground chambers, each presenting different artistic interpretations of crystal materials. These hidden spaces form part of a larger artistic concept that visitors can discover while exploring the area.
