Fountain "The Deluge" in Bydgoszcz, Bronze fountain in Kazimierz Wielki Park, Bydgoszcz, Poland.

The fountain features a central group of bronze figures rising six meters high, depicting people and animals struggling against rising waters.

Created in 1904 by Ferdinand Lepcke, the original structure was dismantled in 1943 during World War II when its bronze materials were confiscated for military purposes.

The fountain illustrates the biblical narrative of the Great Flood through multiple sculptural groups, including a central figure supporting a fainting woman.

The restored monument includes a modern water treatment system and lighting installation, making it functional during both day and night hours.

The reconstruction process relied on a surviving copy located in Coburg, Germany, allowing craftsmen to recreate exact details of the original artwork.
