테른베르크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 동굴

문을 통해 언덕을 오르면 바로 시립 공원으로 이어집니다. 좁은 골목길을 따라 시청 광장으로 이어집니다. 문 자체도 주변 전체와 마찬가지로 볼 가치가 있습니다.

At the foot of Lamberg Castle, a Gothic archway guards the path to the castle. A fresco depicting two emperors and a medieval cityscape adorns the structure, which is known as the Lower Castle Gate in Steyr.

Steyr's Old Town is one of Austria's most atmospheric historic city centers. Situated at the confluence of the Enns and Steyr rivers, it combines a medieval urban structure with well-preserved Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque buildings. Around the town square with its magnificent burgher houses—including the famous Bummerlhaus—narrow lanes, courtyards, and squares unfold, reflecting the former prosperity of this iron-producing city. High above, Lamberg Castle sits atop the walls of the ancient Styraburg, the city's origin. A visit to the Old Town leads past characteristic facades, across bridges to the riverbanks, and to viewpoints offering particularly evocative vistas of the historic ensemble. Overall, Steyr's Old Town presents a harmonious blend of history, architecture, and picturesque urban ambiance.

From the cycle path along the Enns River, there is a beautiful view of Steyr's old town and Lamberg Castle perched above it. Along the river, you can see the closely packed historic buildings, which rise in tiers from the riverbank, marking the transition from the river area to the old town. The castle sits on a raised position above the town and is clearly recognizable as the dominant structure from this perspective. Overall, Steyr is a worthwhile destination for a bike tour or a detour from the main route.

small, quiet, good for a break 😉

The two-winged Renaissance castle dates back to 1588. Further renovations were commissioned around 1670 by the canons Siegbert von Geilenkirchen and Thomas von Kandlberg. It is characterized by an arcaded walkway facing the courtyard. These arcades were enclosed by outbuildings until the renovation. The rooms on the upper floor also served as the official residence of the caretaker – and thus of the courts – for a long time. The Knights of Kast occupied the castle as a summer residence. The dilapidated castle was finally purchased by the municipality of Sierning in 1969 and renovated by the Traunviertel Cultural Association and the town of Sierning. An annex was added to the building, which houses the Sierning municipal office. Following the revitalization of the castle courtyard and the installation of state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a new castle café, it is now possible to host any event. The flagship events are the summer arts and crafts market with up to 10,000 visitors, the Sierning Advent with its Advent village in the castle courtyard, and the Guard Festival. Numerous cultural events and concerts take place throughout the year, both in the castle and in the covered courtyard.

The castle, which stands on a conglomerate rock in front of the mouth of the Steyr, was a well-fortified fortress until the 18th century. It was probably built after the defeat of the Magyars in the Leckfeld Battle (955) to secure the eastern border of the empire. It is first mentioned in a document in a report on the synod held by the Bishop of Passau in Mistelbach near Wels in 977.

Through a Gothic archway, a remnant of the medieval castle fortifications, Berggasse leads to Lamberg Castle. The castle gate features a sculptural representation of the Lamberg coat of arms and a fresco depicting two full-length knights against the backdrop of medieval Steyr. Emperor Frederick III and his son Maximilian I are portrayed here. Based on the founding legend of Steyr Castle, the two are also interpreted as the knights who determined the castle's location through a duel. Two brothers, both knights, were riding through the area. When they reached the Tabor (the site where the Tabor Tower now stands), one decided to build the castle there on the hilltop, as this was the most beautiful spot. His brother, however, insisted on the rocky promontory at the confluence of the Enns and Steyr rivers as a safer building site. When they could not reach an agreement, they decided to fight, and the castle was built on the promontory according to the victor's wishes.
