Guided Story

Imagine standing in the bustling heart of the city, the gentle sound of water drawing you in. Look up, and there it is: the majestic lion, keeping watch over the fountain for more than a century. This lion isn’t just a piece of art; it's a silent witness to the many changes around it. From here, to the west, you can spot the Villa Zanders Art Museum, a perfect place to dive into the region's creativity. And if you look north, you’ll see the impressive silhouette of St. Laurentius Church. Once the hub of market life, this fountain was a gathering spot for traders and customers. Today, it invites you to pause and feel the connection between past and present.
