Molins fountain, Bronze fountain in Norrmalm, Sweden
Molins fountain is a bronze sculpture in Kungsträdgården park where water cascades down over multiple sculptural levels. The water movement creates flowing patterns and sounds that change throughout the day with the current.
Johan Peter Molin designed this work in the 1860s, and it opened to the public in 1873, shortly before his death. The fountain represents an early example of sculpture integrated into Stockholm's public parks during the period of urban expansion.
The fountain serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors pause to enjoy the sculpture and hear the water sounds. People often sit nearby on benches, making it a natural spot for observing daily park life.
The fountain is easy to find in central Stockholm within Kungsträdgården park and serves as a useful landmark while walking through the area. You can walk around it freely and the water runs throughout the day in most seasons.
The fountain still operates using its original 1873 mechanisms and pumps water in the same way it did at opening. Few people realize they are watching a working mechanical system that has operated continuously for over 150 years.
