The Castillon Fountain in Nabburg is a symbol of the vibrant town twinning between Nabburg and the French town of Castillon-la-Bataille. The fountain was inaugurated in 2002 and stands centrally in Nabburg's Upper Market Square.

It commemorates the friendship with Castillon-la-Bataille, which has existed for over 30 years and is nurtured through regular visits, cultural exchanges, and joint celebrations.

The fountain's modern design deliberately contrasts with the historic buildings of the old town.

With its clean lines and symbolic dedication to the twin town, it serves as a symbol of openness and the European ideal.

The flowing water represents exchange, vitality, and connections across borders.

The Castillon Fountain is a jewel of the Upper Market Square and a place for people to meet.

It makes the town twinning visible and anchors it in the everyday lives of the town's residents.

This makes it an example of how a fountain can possess aesthetic, political, and cultural significance.

The Castillon Fountain is a monument to friendship—a place that demonstrates how cities can be connected across national borders. It brings the idea of Europe right into the heart of Nabburg's old town and makes it tangible for everyone.
