Neptune Fountain, built between 1778 and 1780, Schönbrunn Palace
At the end of the Great Parterre and at the foot of the mountain slope rises the Neptune Fountain, which was part of the overall garden design concept from the 1770s commissioned by Maria Theresa.
Under the direction of the court architect Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg, excavations for the basin began in 1776 and after four years of construction, the fountain was completed before the monarch died. The design most likely came from J. F. Hetzendorf von Hohenberg, the figural group made of Sterzing marble was created by Wilhelm Beyer. A retaining wall swinging back against the mountain slope, which is provided with a balustrade decorated with vases, forms the back wall of the huge fountain basin.
