Fountain of Neptune, Cultural monument fountain in Valtice, Czech Republic.
The Fountain of Neptune is a water sculpture featuring a central statue of the sea god surrounded by pools and water channels within the castle gardens. The installation includes basins, columns, and decorative stone surrounds that together form an integrated water display system.
The fountain was built in the 19th century as part of the castle's extensive garden development, shaped by the noble Liechtenstein family. This era brought numerous artistic and architectural improvements to the entire estate.
The fountain served as a display of wealth and power for the noble families who commissioned it and used the surrounding grounds for their gatherings. Today, visitors can observe how such water installations reflected the status and artistic ambitions of their owners.
The fountain sits along the marked pathways of the castle grounds and is easily accessible from the main entrances. Wear comfortable shoes as you will walk through extensive gardens to reach and explore the surrounding area.
The water system was engineered to channel water through underground pipes to different sections of the fountain, a technical achievement rarely visible but essential to its operation. Such hydraulic systems were signs of advanced engineering during the 1800s.
