    Yes, the fountain is not only beautiful, that's the way it is!
    More information can be found on the city's website:
    "In addition to the historic facades of the baroque houses, the so-called" Beautiful Fountain ", which was originally built in 1572, stands out here. It was not until 1727, when a statue of Emperor Charles VI was placed on the basin that the fountain received its present appearance. The lattice of the fountain dates back to 1590. The fountain is considered the most important in the city and is - due to the historic house facade in the background - a popular postcard motif. "

      The Beautiful Fountain gives the Weinmarkt, already surrounded by beautiful houses, its special flair. The patron of the Free Imperial City of Windsheim, Emperor Charles VI, father of the great Maria Theresa, stands proudly on the fountain column.

        We were able to admire the fountain in its Easter garb. Very beautiful.

          Also of interest is the light blue Rococo house, unique among the many half-timbered buildings. 😄
          So is the Gasthof Zum Storchen, the oldest bourgeois half-timbered house in Middle Franconia. The timber for the roof truss was felled in 1295. 🙈
