One of the most beautiful and oldest preserved buildings in Steyr is the so-called “Bummerlhaus”. The facade bears witness to the immense wealth that the iron dealers in Steyr once earned, among other things. with the Venice trade. The Bummerlhaus takes its name from the golden lion, which the citizens of Steyr probably thought was too cute, which is why they called him Bummerl, a name otherwise used for small (rounded) dogs. Unfortunately, the inside of the building cannot be visited, which is why we had to deduct a star. Which is a shame, because inside there are the remains of a tower from the 14th century, a Gothic spiral staircase, beautiful vaulted rooms and much more. The Bummerlhaus is the best-preserved late Gothic secular building in Austria and the landmark of the picturesque iron town of Steyr.

The late Gothic town house is considered a landmark of the city. In the 19th century, the Zum Goldenen Löwen inn was housed here. The visitors to the restaurant found the lion too cute as a figurehead, so they called him Bummerl. This term is used for a small and fat dog.

Quite cozy Gothic style house, I find it very fascinating how old it is and how well preserved it is, although the square in general is beautiful and the house does not impose itself much more than the others. It should be noted that the tree you see in the middle of the square in the photographs should only be found at Christmas, at least in summer it is not there.
