No one has rated this yet.

The centrepiece of the Neuer Markt is Georg Raphael Donner’s fountain (1737–9) with an allegory of Providentia, the divine providence, accompanied by four cherubs towering over a pool. They are surrounded by four figures representing the Austrian rivers Traun, Enns, March and Ybbs. During Maria Theresa’s reign the naked statues were removed as they were regarded as improper, but they were replaced in the 19th century (see p53).
