Bummerlhaus
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bummerhaus and other great houses - Steyr
    Bummerhaus and other great
    houses

    Bummerlhaus (you see it on the very left side of the picture) is the oldest building on the town square. It was built in the 13th century and content the inn "Zum goldenen Löwen" (Golden Lion) for a long time. The name came from a small golden lion that is on the guild sign of the house. But the inn was also called "Bummerlwirthaus" and this is maybe the reason why it is called Bummerlhaus.

    Today it houses a bank.

    The town hall - Rathaus - Hotel de Ville
  • Tip Rating:
  • The town hall was built between 1765 and 1778 and it is one of be most important works of Austrian rokoko. The architect was Gotthard Hayberger, which became famous through it monastry buildings in St. Florian (near Linz), Seitenstetten (near Amstetten) and Admont (Styria). He offered plans to the officals in 1757 and they began to build in 1765, some years later.

    The town hall houses an archive and the offices of the mayors and the communal goverment. The tourist information is also located here.

    It is further called "the most beautiful baroque town hall in Austria" .... and shure it is!

    Museum der Stadt Steyr - Innenberger Stadel
  • Tip Rating:
  • The local town museum is situated next to the entrance gate of the old town of Steyr. I am shure it is worth to visit because Steyr is a old town with a lot of History. But I had only 2 hours time and so I couldn´t visit it. But hopefully next time!

    Schmollgruberhaus
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is another wonderful building - the Schmollgruberhaus. It gots its name from the Schmollgruber family, which are spezialised in restoring antique clocks.

    They also have a shop in the smallest house in Vienna - have a look on the Vienna page of Waltraud (pepples46).

    Sternhaus
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sternhaus with its great fassade - Steyr
    Sternhaus with its great
    fassade
    by MEdelmann
    Send Photo to a Friend
    The Sternhaus (star house) has a wonderful baroque fassade and one of the most beautiful buildings on the town square. It got its name from some starns in the fassade.

    This building is the second most beautiful building after the town hall in my eyes.

    The fassade of Sternhaus is very coloful and got a great restauration, after it was hit by a bomb in World War II.

    Steyr had so much luck during the war - there was no big damage after the bombing of the town - due to heavy fog on that day, the bombed landed somewhere else ....

    THANKS GOD !!

    Stadtpfarrkirche

  • The Parish church, a three aisle one, dates back to 15th century and was built on the site of a Romanesque church while its 80 meters bell tower was rebuilt after a fire in 19th century in Neo-Gothic style.

    crossed the river...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kirchengasse... I think, have to check by my local guide... in any case it's besides the river a sort of quarter with even its own name as you were leaving Steyr and entering a neighbourhood ;-)...

    Stadtplatz
  • Tip Rating:
  • and here is the amazing square where Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo meet each other in harmony... even if my pic doesn't do justice to it... nor to the atmosphere my special guide gave to the town tour...
