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.
Fountain location: Crossing of Kharkivska, Gagarin and Heroes of Sumy streets
