Schönbrunn (Schloß Schönbrunn) is the main summer residence of the Austrian emperors of the Habsburg dynasty and one of the largest constructions of Austrian Baroque (architect: Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach). It is located in the western part of Vienna, 5 km from the city center, in the Hietzing district.

One of the most beautiful palace and park ensembles in Europe.

Eastern Naiad Fountain (circular basin)

The Eastern Naiad Fountain (circular basin) is located in the Schönbrunn Palace Park in Vienna's 13th district, Hietzing.

The circular basin of the fountain, with a group of figures: a Naiad, a Swan, and a Putto (Putti), was created in 1780 by the German sculptor Johann Christian Wilhelm Beyer (1725–1796) and the Salzburg sculptor Johann Baptist Hagenauer von Hagenau (1732–1810).

The figures were originally intended to be part of the Neptune Fountain (the central fountain).

A complete renovation was carried out in 2015.
