Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle sound of water? It draws you into a world where dolphins are captured in stone. Take a look at the intricately carved forms at the base of the fountain. These dolphins aren't just decorative. In mythology, they're symbols of protection and salvation at sea. Behind you stands the Church of St. Peter and Paul, sharing a rich history of its own. Weimar is full of such hidden gems. As you walk around the fountain, think of the artists who once drew inspiration here. Let yourself be enchanted by the blend of art and history that makes this spot so special.
