Fontaine du Château d'eau de Montmartre, Renaissance Revival fountain in Montmartre, France.

The Château d'eau de Montmartre fountain features octagonal shapes, Renaissance pilasters, sculpted niches, and dragon figures on its decorated facade.

Built in 1835 under architect Philippe Auguste Titeux's direction, this water tower served as the primary water supply system for Montmartre residents.

The fountain stands at Place Jean-Baptiste-Clément, where street musicians and artists gather among the cobblestone streets of Montmartre.

Located at the intersection of Rue Lepic and Rue Norvins, the fountain remains enclosed by a protective fence to preserve its architectural elements.

The bronze door on Rue Norvins leads to an interior chamber containing an ornate urn decorated with naiads, tritons, and a lion head motif.
