The old town is also home to one of the city's most important fountains, the Hercules Fountain. Johann Simon Rosinus, governor of the Barons von der Leyen, had the Hercules Fountain built in 1691. It is the oldest fountain still preserved in Blieskastel and dates back to the Réunion period (1679-1697), when Blieskastel belonged to the French "Privince de la Sarre." Over the centuries, this fountain has been renovated several times. According to tradition, the current Hercules figure is already the sixth. It dates from 1954 and was created by Blieskastel master sculptor Joachim Kisch as a faithful copy of the previous model.
