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.

The "Stollen der Gedenken" memorial site has been managed by the Arfbeitswelt Museum since 2013. The exhibition was implemented by the Mauthausen Committee Steyr in a former air raid shelter and sheds light on the history of the city of Steyr in the years 1938-1945. Starting with the economic crisis of the 1930s, the exhibition chronologically examines the rise of the National Socialists in the region, the annexation in 1938, the expansion of the Steyr works for the Nazi war economy and the deployment of several thousand concentration camp prisoners and civilian forced laborers from all over Europe for the armaments industry.

One of the ways to get from the town square to the Ennskai without. Be careful! Tall people have to duck their heads ;-)
