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.

The Memorial Tunnel in Steyr is a memorial site commemorating the Nazi era and, in particular, the forced labor at the former Steyr-Münichholz subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp. The exhibition is located in an approximately 140-meter-long air-raid shelter tunnel beneath Lamberg Castle, which was driven into the rock by concentration camp prisoners in 1943. In this original, preserved tunnel, the exhibition guides visitors through the years 1938 to 1945, using documents, photographs, and personal accounts to illustrate the profound impact of the armaments industry, forced labor, and persecution on life in Steyr. The deliberately simple and somber design evokes the confinement and atmosphere of the place, making the tunnel a central learning and memorial site used by many visitors and school groups to gain a deeper understanding of the local history of the Nazi period.

Steyr's historic center is one of the most impressive old towns in the country. Richly decorated townhouses from the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo periods cluster around the expansive town square, reflecting the former prosperity of this trading and iron-producing city. The Bummerlhaus, one of Austria's best-preserved Gothic residential buildings, stands out in particular, its striking facade immediately catching the eye. Lamberg Castle, built on the walls of the original Styraburg castle, rises above the old town and marks Steyr's historical origins. A tour through the old town reveals an unusually dense succession of architectural eras within a compact area and clearly demonstrates how strongly history, craftsmanship, and the natural landscape intertwine here.

Very nice city, expect cobblestones

Shortly after the founding of Garsten Abbey, in the first quarter of the 12th century, the Benedictine Abbey of Gleink emerged from the Bamberg fiefdom of Glunich. The founders, Arnhalm I and his son Bruno, from the ministerial Gleink-Volkersdorf family, whose employers, the Styrian Otakars, co-founded the abbey, had the fortress converted into a monastery. The monastery complex, dedicated to the Apostle Andrew, already existed around 1120. The Romanesque monastery building was damaged by fire in the 13th century. In the first half of the 17th century, primarily due to looting during the Peasants' War of 1626, the monastery fell into dire straits. Under the following abbots, the great Baroque building period also began for Gleink. As part of the church reforms, Gleink was secularized on May 21, 1784. Parish pastoral care in Gleink was taken over by secular priests, and the monastery buildings were temporarily used as barracks. The bishops of the Diocese of Linz then happily used Gleink as a summer residence. In 1832, the Salesian Sisters came to Gleink from Vienna. At its peak, their monastery numbered up to 70 sisters. From around 1950 onwards, there were no new enrollments, and in 1977, it was finally dissolved. In 1950, the Order of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart took over parish pastoral care and, until 1990, also operated a Caritas home, a feared reformatory for boys. Since 2022, the monastery building has served as the "cultural GUT storage" of the Diocese of Linz. The external depot of the Diocesan Archives houses archival materials from the parishes as well as the art and furniture depot with over 2,000 works of art and furniture.
