Wasserspiele Hellbrunn, Renaissance water features park in Salzburg, Austria
The Hellbrunn water features include mechanical fountains, hidden water jets, and intricate water-powered displays spread across a vast garden complex.
Prince-Archbishop Markus Sittikus commissioned architect Santino Solari to construct this summer residence between 1612 and 1615 as an entertainment venue.
The five water-driven mechanical figures and 163 automated characters represent daily life in a Baroque city, demonstrating period engineering capabilities.
Visitors can explore the water features through guided tours with audio guides in multiple languages, with tours lasting approximately 50 minutes.
The garden contains hidden water jets in stone seats, which spray unsuspecting guests, continuing a 400-year-old tradition of playful entertainment.
