Four identical simple stone circular fountains refresh air in convent garden of one of European Baroque architecture pearls - the former hospital and later also convent of Brothers Hospitallers in Kuks.
Stunning Kuks Baroque complex was founded by count František Antonín Špork and build in 1707-1748. It was generally reconstructed in 2010–2015 (costs ca 500 000 000 CZK), so currently it shines in its original beauty. Depicted simple modern stone fountains with central water jet and stone basin diameter 220 cm were installed in garden during the reconstruction. The given waymark coordinates mark the NW fountain (N°1 in the aerial photo).
