Fountains "Cloches"

In 1724, near the Marley Palace in the western part of the Lower Park, four fountains were supposed to be built on the alley along the reservoir on the subjects of Aesop’s fables. However, the plan was not implemented, and the prepared places from the arches of the grotto of the Grand Cascade were transferred figures of four Tritons, made in 1721 in bronze according to the drawing of the architect I.-F. Braunstein. Wooden bowls with tubes, from which the water beat over the heads of the Tritons, at the end of the XVIII century were replaced by flat discs with a water conduit in the center. The water flowing under low pressure forms a kind of bell. "Tritons", surrounded by a transparent veil, as if they are in the native element of the underwater kingdom. Since then, the fountains have been called "Cloches", which in French means "bell".

Destroyed during the Great Patriotic War, Kloshi was recreated in 1955.
