St. Mary’s Fountain (1)

Since 1704 the baroque St. Mary’s Fountain, work of the sculptor Johann Baptist Spaz the Younger from Salzburg, embellishes the beautiful main square covering an area of 6,502 m². From 1761 to 1873 the Piarists’ Order School was housed in the building, where today the Sparkasse bank stands, followed by the first grammar school of the city. On the opposite side of the main square you can see the exposed wall paintings of a “rich” bourgeois house next to today’s municipal offices with its added storeys.
