    This fountain is dedicated to Saint Leopold, the saint credited with the discovery of the Veil of St. Agnes and founding the Klosterneuburg Abbey. The centrepiece of the fountain is a bronze statue of Saint Leopold, with a flag in his hand, looking at the design of the abbey on a piece of paper held up by a youth. The sculpture stands atop a pedestal with two relief sculpture depicting scenes of his aforementioned legacy. I think the fountain is okay, it's on one of the main tourist streets of Vienna, on Graben. I wouldn't go out of the way to see it. It's not much of a fountain either.

    Leopoldsbrunnen (Leopold's Fountain) is one of monuments along Grabenstraße in the city centre of Vienna, it can be seen on the east side of the Plague Column. Here you will find an octagonal shaped basin with a bronze figure of St. Leopold who is holding a flag in his left hand while looking over a papers being held in his right. There is a young boy standing next to him, peering upwards at the saint. Constructed in 1680 by Austrian sculptor Johann Frühwirth, the stone statue of St. Leopold was later replaced with a lead sculpture by Johann Martin Fischer in 1804. While not as impressive or interesting as the beautiful Baroque Plague Column nearby, Leopold's Fountain is interesting to see, as is the similar Joseph's Fountain, situated on the other side of the Plague Column. Give both a few minutes viewing while spending time on Grabenstraße in Vienna.

    The Leopoldsbrunnen was built in the 15th century and is therefore one of the oldest fountains in the city of Vienna.

    I'm giving this statue five stars because it stands next to the most enormous statue in Western Europe. Stop and take a look, and read up on the history.

    The fountains almost always cheer up to five stars - especially in the 35 degree heat. In a great location in the heart of the city.

    Fountain dedicated to a saint named Leopold. I couldn't see too many fountains in Vienna, they need to be appreciated.

    The Leopold Fountain in the Tyrolean state capital is a listed monument near the Altstadt of the city of Innsbruck. The fountain, which is on the Rennweg and is not far from the Tyrolean State Theatre features an equestrian statue of Archduke Leopold V who lived from 1586 to 1632 and gave the fountain its name
