Wedding fountain
The fountain is dedicated to the wedding of St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its history dates back to 1702, from the promise of Emperor Leopold I to erect a monument in gratitude for the return of his son Joseph from captivity. The emperor died, Joseph was redeemed from captivity in 1705, and in 1706 a wooden monument (not a fountain) designed by the court architect Johann Bernard Fischer von Erlach stood in the square. In 1725, it was dismantled and work began on the creation of a stone monument-fountain under the direction of architect Elias Hugel.→

Baroque lovers
In the center of the oldest square in the city of Hoher Markt (Hoher Markt) is the Wedding Fountain, which is also called the Joseph Fountain. The sculptural group of the fountain depicts the moment of the betrothal of the Virgin Mary to Joseph. The first monument at this place was made of wood and was a gratitude to Emperor Leonidas for the safe return of his son Joseph from the war. The current version of the fountain made of stone and bronze appeared already in the 17th century.→
