Margaret Fountain is located at the Margaretenplatz, Vienna, Austria. The former municipality of Margareten had this fountain built as a souvenir of Franz I’s permission to use the court water pipe, which led from the Siebenbrunnenwiese to the Schweizerhof and was given an outlet pipe here. It was built in 1835 and inaugurated on November 24, 1836. It was the only public water source in this area until an outlet from the Kaiser Ferdinand aqueduct (1843) was built. Above the water basin is the statue of St. Margaret of Antioch fighting a dragon by Johann Nepomuk Schaller. In 1886, the fountain was moved to another location as part of a regulation of Margaretenplatz, after it had previously been provided with a new base (youthful heads as gargoyles) made according to the plans of the curator Alois Hauser and restored by the sculptor Wilhelm Sturm.

I optimized the sculptures and reworked the base to lower the amount of tris to reach a reasonable size to make it easy for the game and used textures. The asset is PO friendly, you can up/downsize it for your own liking.

Credits goes to niaphasia for the Photogrammetry of the original.
