The Zähringer Fountain is one of the eleven historic figure fountains in the old town of Bern and is one of the city's most famous sights. The fountain was built in 1535 in honor of the Zähringer family, who founded Bern.

Bern the city of fountains. Bern's old town alone has over 11 fountains that were built in the 16th century. This also includes the Zähringerbrunnen.
Anyone who is interested in these fountains will have plenty of photo opportunities in front of their lens and will also have a great excursion through Bern's old town.
Funnily enough, Bern's oldest fountain, the Stettenbrunnen, is one of the most inconspicuous.
