Tips from the Community
Kollmitzberg is located in the market town of Ardagger on the Moststraße and is considered – despite the manageable altitude of 469 m – one of the most beautiful viewpoints far and wide. Pilgrims, hikers, cyclists and nature lovers enjoy an almost unobstructed view in all directions here – from the Schneeberg to the Traunstein and across the Danube region far into the Bohemian Massif. A bike tour on the Kollmitzberg Bike Route is especially recommended for the Mostviertel pear tree blossom in spring. The pilgrimage church of St. Ottilie on the Kollmitzberg, visible from afar, was first mentioned in 1260 and has been considered a popular place of pilgrimage since the Middle Ages. The "Ottilienwasser", which springs up not far from the church, has been attributed healing properties since time immemorial.

From the History The parish of Stephanshart (originally "St. Stephan am Hart") is - like many Stephan parishes in Lower and Upper Austria - one of the oldest parishes founded in Passau in the first half of the 11th century. It encompassed the territory of the later parishes of Sindelburg, Oed, Zeillern, Markt and Stift Ardagger, as well as Kollmitzberg and Neustadtl. In 1049, the territory of Stift Ardagger, including Markt Ardagger, Kollmitzberg, and probably also Neustadtl, was separated from it. New Parish Church: The new church is a clearly structured building with a spacious nave and narrow side aisles. The tower with a pyramidal roof, located to the east, crowns the main entrance. The artistic furnishings were largely taken from the old church; the choir wall features a sgraffito by Robert Herfert from 1959. Since 2007, the so-called Olympia organ (built in 1964) from Wilten Abbey, with its more than 3,100 pipes, has been located in the Stephanshart parish church.
