Fountain Sadko

Fontan Sadko
Ukraine, Sumy
The cascade fountain "Sadko" in Sumy is one of the symbols of the city of Sumy, dedicated to the epic hero Sadko, a merchant and gusler who managed to outwit the sea king and escape from his captivity. The fountain was built in 1985 on the square in front of the bridge over the river. Psel, at the intersection of Ilyinskaya and Gagarin streets with Kharkovskaya street. Initially, the fountain of 4 cascades was opened without Sadko's sculpture, which gave this complex hydraulic complex an unfinished look. A little later, the upper cascade was decorated with a bronze sculpture of an epic hero with a harp surrounded by mermaids, made back in 1975 by the Kiev sculptor Yevgeny Kulikov for the corner of fairy-tale heroes on Pokrovskaya Square.
In 2010, the Sadko Fountain was completely reconstructed, the marble slabs were replaced with granite ones, and a new fountain lighting system was installed here at night.

In fact, the Sadko Fountain* was built in 1985, but the central bronze sculpture was made back in 1975 by the Kyiv artist Yevgeny Kulikov. Designing his work, Kulikov took the epic about Sadko as a basis. Then the creation of the Kyiv architect did not find a place in the city. And only 10 years later, Mikhail Lupsha, the secretary of the city committee of Sumy, issued an order to build a fountain. In 2010, the Sadko fountain was completely reconstructed. * Sadko is an epic hero and a skilled gusler, who won the favor of the Sea Tsar himself with his play.
