Town Fountain
Highlight • Monument
In 1722, Abbot Berthold Dietmayr donated the Kolomani fountain, which was created in 1687 for the prelate's courtyard of the monastery, to the market. Saint Koloman stands on a column made of four water-spouting dolphins with a staff and pilgrim's hat. The Irish king's son was suspected of being a spy on the pilgrimage to Jerusalem near Stockerau and was hanged on an elderberry bush. The Babenbergs brought his incorrupt corpse to their residence in Melk on October 13, 1014. The Kolomani festival still takes place on this day.
