The fountain system includes a specialized water screen projector that allows for the display of films and multimedia animations on a wall of mist.
The water basin is located on the site of the former castle moat that once protected the Opole stronghold.
The fountain's pump capacity allows for the circulation of a significant volume of water from the pond to produce high-pressure vertical effects.
The integration of the fountain into the pond design was part of a larger urban revitalization project aimed at modernizing the area around the Piast Tower.
The fountain's operation is controlled by an automated system that synchronizes the water pressure pulses with pre-programmed musical scores.
The Multimedialna Fontanna na Stawie Zamkowym is an aquatic installation located in Opole's Zamkowy Pond, featuring synchronized water jets, light displays, and acoustic systems. The system utilizes dozens of nozzles capable of reaching heights of several meters to create water screens. Integrated LED lighting allows for multi-colored visual sequences coordinated with musical performances. The fountain serves as a focal point for evening light shows within the park grounds. It is built directly into the basin of the historic pond near the remnants of the Opole Castle fortifications.

Position yourself on the bridge or the shore-side embankment for the best viewing angle of the water screen projections.
Check the local municipal website for the specific evening show schedule, as performances are rotated seasonally.
Bring a light jacket as the evening temperature near the pond often drops, especially when the fountain is in operation.
Do not attempt to walk on the wet surfaces surrounding the basin as they become slippery when the fountain is active.
Operates primarily during the warmer months from late spring to early autumn; shows typically do not run during winter due to freezing temperatures.
