square in Steyr

Stadtplatz Steyr

Steyr's Stadtplatz is triangular, which is unusual for an Austrian market square, and it is surrounded by an ensemble of Gothic and Renaissance facades that has survived largely intact since the 16th and 17th centuries.

Steyr’s triangular Stadtplatz is one of the finest medieval market squares in Austria, anchored by the Bummerlhaus, the best-preserved secular Gothic building in the country. The square sits at the confluence of the Steyr and Enns rivers, built on iron-trade wealth that lasted from the 14th to the 18th century. Steyr is 30 minutes from Linz by direct train. Free to explore; the Ennskai promenade gives the best view of the river junction and the square ensemble.
