The Deluge Fountain, located in Bydgoszcz's Old Market Square, is a striking early 20th-century landmark. Designed by Paul Mahlau, it features bronze sculptures of muscular figures wrestling with jets of water, representing the 17th-century Swedish invasion known as the Deluge. Visitors can admire the dynamic composition and the interplay of water and sculpture, which creates a sense of movement and tension. The fountain is a popular meeting point and a testament to the city's rich history.

- Visit at night when the fountain is illuminated, enhancing its dramatic effect.
