Bretten Market Square and the Palatine Count's Fountain

Highlight • Settlement

The market fountain is located in Bretten's charming market square. Surrounded by beautiful half-timbered houses, it's a wonderful place to relax with a coffee.

Next to the fountain stands the Gothic Melanchthon House, named after a contemporary of Luther.
