The Providentia-Brunnen (Providence Fountain) is one of the most beautiful fountains of Vienna. It dates back to the year 1739 and was made by Georg Raphael Donner.



In the center you may see goddess Providentia (providence) and around her 4 sculptures - each of them symbolizing one of the 4 most important rivers flowing into the Danube: the young man is the river TRAUN, the old may the river ENNS, the ladies are the rivers MARCH and YBBS.
