Neptune's Fountain (Polish: Fontanna Neptuna; German: Neptunbrunnen) is a historic fountain in Gdańsk, a Mannerist-Rococo masterpiece, and one of the most distinctive landmarks of the city. The fountain is located at the Długi Targ (Long Market), in front of the entrance to the Artus Court. It was constructed in the early 17th century. Kashubians use a nickname Krësztof for the sculpture.
