Fountain with Sculpture (Pushkin)

The fountain with a sculpture, located in Pushkin on Academichesky Prospekt, was restored in 2020 with the replacement of the basin and connection to engineering networks, after which it was launched in early May 2021. Since 2014, the facility has been under the economic management of the State Unitary Enterprise "Vodokanal of St. Petersburg". The central statue, created by the French sculptor Louis Sauvageau in 1862, depicts a river nymph or Undine, and its pedestal is decorated with large leaves of algae and bulrush. Despite being located on the territory of Alexandrovsky Park, the fountain for a long time did not have state protection and was deteriorating, while similar sculptures are installed in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and several communes in France. The 2015 examination recognized the names "Flora" and "Goddess of Fertility" as erroneous due to the absence of corresponding attributes.
