Whale Fountain

The "Whale" Fountain is located in the Lower Park of Peterhof near the Sandy Pond, which was excavated in 1724 for an unfinished granite cascade. On the sides of the wooden "Fish-Whale" are installed lead "sea bulls", cast in St. Petersburg by P. Lukovnikov and chased by A. Kulomzin. The fountain uses the same nozzle as the "Ménagerie" fountains, and around it are four small dolphin fountains. Dismantled in the mid-19th century, the "Whale" was recreated in 1963 and has the status of a cultural heritage site of federal significance in Russia.
