  1. Here is the largest pump house:

    First built in 1720, with waterwheels pumping water into wooden towers, it was retrofitted in 1803 with pressurized air chambers at ground level. The sign reads "still today, these pumps drive the large fountain making them among the oldest machines worldwide that are still in constant operation."

    Bath house… just begging for jumps from the handrail above….

    Starway access to the pool is through the secret door in the panel work at the rear.
