Château D'Eau, Neoclassical fountain in Cachoeira do Sul, Brazil
The Château D'Eau fountain stands near Nossa Senhora da Conceição Church, featuring sculptures of Neptune and water nymphs atop its decorative structure.
The fountain was designed by engineer Walter Jobim in 1925 as part of the city water distribution system until its deactivation in 1970.
The Italian sculptor Giuseppe Gaudenzi created the fountain's mythological figures at Vicente Friedrichs workshops in Porto Alegre during the 1920s.
The fountain underwent a complete restoration in 2017, funded by Corsan, returning its appearance to match the original 1925 design specifications.
The structure received official cultural heritage status from the Rio Grande do Sul State Assembly in 2006 and municipal protection in 2012.
