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.

The Kolomani fountain is a fountain dedicated to Saint Koloman in the old town of Melk. The fountain dates back to 1687, when it was commissioned for the prelate's court of the Melk Abbey. Abbot Berthold Dietmayr donated it to the city in 1722 because it no longer fit into the baroque concept of the monastery complex.
In the middle of the fountain, on a pedestal, stands a statue of the saint with his typical attributes: pilgrim's hat and pilgrim's staff.
