The Vermählungsbrunnen fountain (also called Wedding Fountain) on the Hoher Markt Square is one of the most important Viennese fountain monuments of the Baroque period.
The present-day stone and bronze version, opened in 1732, stands in place of a wooden monument that Emperor Leopold I. had built in 1706, when his son Joseph returned from the war unharmed.

The basins were made from marble from the town of Adnet in Salzburg (a traditional source of marble for Austria until today). There is a total of four basins, embracing the statues of Mary, Joseph and the High Priest.
It is a wedding scene of Mary and Joseph, a very unusual motive in art. Four angles on each corner of the Vermählungsbrunnen hold the columns that built up to a baldachin made of brass. The statues were made by the Venetian artist Antonio Corradini.
