Löwenkopfbrunnen, Protected water well in Altstadt, Austria

The Löwenkopfbrunnen features stone lion heads that dispense water through their carved mouths into a rectangular basin within the old city walls.

Built during medieval times, this wall fountain served as a vital water source for Salzburg residents and showcased the engineering capabilities of that period.

The fountain stands as a representation of medieval craftsmanship, displaying detailed stonework that exemplifies the architectural traditions of Salzburg.

Located in the center of Salzburg's Old Town, the fountain remains functional and provides fresh drinking water to visitors throughout the year.

The stone lions maintain their original form despite centuries of water flow, demonstrating the durability of traditional Austrian masonry techniques.
