So in St. Petersburg there is a series of fountain jokes. They don’t even look like fountains, but if you get close, you’ll take an unplanned shower.

According to the same principle, the fountain-shutich "Oak", located in the Lower Park of the Palace and Park Ensemble of Peterhof, works.

The fountain was designed by Bartolomeo Carlo Rastroli. And initially the leaves of the tree were gilded - green "Oak" became in 1802, at the same time it was moved from Peterhof to the park.

The Great Patriotic War did not pass by this masterpiece. It was cut down and it had to be restored according to the surviving drawings and one surviving branch.
