Colomanistein
The Kolomanistein near Eisgarn in Lower Austria is a shell stone built on with a chapel .
For the Kolomanistein from St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna see below.
Description and history
The Kolomanistein near Eisgarn in the Waldviertel consists of two granite blocks lying on top of each other and around 2.5 meters high. According to a legend, St. Koloman is said to have bathed his feet in water that had collected in a depression on the top of the flat stone.
In 1713, on behalf of Provost Franz Anton von Pallingen, a niche shrine with a curved volute gable , which can be reached via simple stone steps, was built above this recess . In the wayside shrine there is a stone figure of St. Koloman from the first quarter of the 18th century.
The Counts of Hirschberg , whose castle chapel was also consecrated to Saint Koloman and who came into the possession of the County of Litschau through marriage, are considered early supporters of the Koloman cult cultivated here . In earlier times there was an annual procession from Litschau . An annual procession from Eisgarn is called on October 13th.
Achaz spring
The Achazquelle with the Achazmarterl on the federal road 5 between Heidenreichstein and Eisgarn is also related to the Kolomanistein .
It was named after Provost Achaz, Freiherr von Stiebar, who had a resting place for travelers with a place of worship built near the spring in 1847. The Marterl was built as a chapel-like brick building over the spring, which is accessible through a grid.
