Religious, Spiritual sights in Steyr

  1. Christkindl Post Office

    If you happen to arrive in Steyr over Christmas, head for the suburb of Christkindl, to the west of the old centre. During the festive season, a special Christkindl Post Office is set up in the Christkindlkirche to handle the almost two million letters posted around the world.

    Bummerlhaus

    Opposite the Rathaus is the steep-gabled, late-Gothic Bummerlhaus. In the 19th century, blurry-eyed punters to this former inn called the golden lion on the sign Bummerl (small, fat dog) and the name stuck.
