Fontaine de Noyon, Historic fountain in Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, Noyon, France
The Noyon Fountain features an octagonal basin with a central column adorned with fleur-de-lis patterns and a large decorative vasque at its summit.
Commissioned by Bishop Charles de Broglie in 1769, the fountain was constructed by Parisian sculptor François Masson and completed in 1771 with assistance from local craftsmen.
The fountain incorporates statues representing cardinal virtues at its base, reflecting the religious and moral values prevalent in 18th-century French society.
Located in the central square of Noyon, the fountain remains accessible throughout the year and serves as a reference point for exploring the surrounding historical district.
During the French Revolution, the fountain's inscriptions were modified to reference the Constitution and human rights, replacing its original royal symbolism.
