Divanchiki (Trick Fountain)

The "Divanchiki" trick fountains in the Monplaisir Garden of Peterhof were launched in 1723 and have not changed their appearance since then. These park structures of the trellis type, characteristic of the 18th century, have lattice backs and legs decorated with triton mascarons and a tuff hill. Destroyed during the Great Patriotic War, the fountains were recreated in 1952 and 1958, and their architect was Niccolo Michetti according to the drawings corrected by Peter I.
