When you arrived the Marktgasse, you would find the Schutzernbrunnen - the Marksman fountain, located at the end of the street, and it's just in front of Zytglogge.
This lovely fountain was first built in 1527 & the fountain had repaired & relocated several times. The statue of the marksman, holding a banner in his right hand & a sword in his left, together with a little bear holding a rifle at his feet.
It's a lovely statue & it's something that you don't want to miss when you come to Bern!
Built between 1527-1543.Very stunning statue.extremely attractive,its hard to miss coming here for some amazing beautiful photos for rememberence
When you enter the old town from bear park, on the main street you would see a nice well architected Monument and fountain n the middle of the mail street which is so beautiful with a history background
Schutzenbrunnen is in Bern & on the old town main street. Above a small fountain, a statue depicts a marksman holding a banner & a bear aiming a firearm. The fountain is nice & the statue is nice too. It's near the old clock tower. This is a part of the Bern city tour.
They are all beautiful and interesting. In the early 90's, the sound of the water fountains in Bern remembered you how bored can be a traditional Swiss city on Sunday's afternoon. Today the activity have change and I cannot say if by nostalgy or by age, I miss now the old times where the only noise of the downtown was reduced to their water falling in those not too cold days
The marksman finally found its mark or permanent home here in the old city by the clock tower/prison tower. It once was outside the marksmen's association and the gun barrel held by the small bear was pointed at the entrance!
