Neptune Fountain, Schloss Hof
The original fountain, dating from the time of Prince Eugene, was demolished in the 19th century. The reconstructed structure is missing the most important group of figures, Neptune with a dolphin, which has been lost.
The groups on the sides of the fountain depict the fight between Hercules and Antaeus, in which the ancient hero defeats his opponent through strength and cleverness. This motif was often used as a reference to the princely virtues of the castle owner.
