Neptune Fountain at Schönbrunn Palace
Highlight • Monument
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.

Obelisk Fountain (Obeliskbrunnen), Schönbrunn Palace Gardens
Highlight • Monument
The obelisk fountain, located at the foot of the Schönbrunner Berg, forms the visual accent at the end of the eastern diagonal avenue. Alongside the Gloriette and the Menagerie, it is one of the most important focal points of the garden axes. Like the other garden objects, this fountain was designed by Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg and built in 1777. The sculptural work was carried out by Benedikt Henrici, partly based on designs by Wilhelm Beyer.

Roman Ruin, Schönbrunn Palace Gardens
Highlight • Historical Site
This building is an ensemble designed by Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg. It was built in 1778 and is completely integrated into the surrounding nature - a romantic garden setting. Ruined buildings were encouraged in England before the middle of the 18th century, but they only became widespread decades later.
