Eguisheim
Fountain of Saint Leon

In the past, this square was an unhealthy pond which served the domestic needs of the inhabitants. In 1834, the mayor of the time, who was a doctor, decided to build a fountain to clean up the place and prevent cholera. The ditch was therefore filled in and an octagonal pink sandstone basin was installed in 1836. The statue was erected a few years later, in 1852.
