    The town fountain in Melk, also known as the Koloman Fountain, is a historical monument located in front of the town hall. The fountain was gifted to the town in 1722 by Abbot Berthold Dietmayr, as it no longer fit the Baroque design of the monastery. It was originally commissioned in 1687 for the abbot's residence at Melk Abbey.

    The fountain depicts Saint Koloman, wearing a pilgrim's hat and carrying a pilgrim's staff, standing on a pedestal supported by four water-spouting dolphins. The inscription "BDAM 1722" refers to the donor, Bertholdus Dietmayr, Abbas Mellicensis.
