Kohl's Fountain, Renaissance fountain in Prague Castle, Czech Republic

The fountain displays carved figures of ancient gods including Mercury, Vulcan, Neptune, and Hercules supporting the lower basin, with two Tritons holding the upper section.

Built in 1686 by Hieronymus Kohl and Francesco della Torre, the fountain received its current form with the restoration of the Imperial Eagle at its summit in 2020.

The fountain represents the historic connection between Prague Castle and the Holy Roman Empire through its imperial monogram L for Emperor Leopold I.

Located in the second courtyard of Prague Castle, the fountain draws water from the Brusnice stream and a pond beneath the Hvězda summer palace in Liboc.

Three stone lions support a sphere at the top of the fountain, beneath which stands a copper replica of the original 17th-century Imperial Eagle.
