  1. Pfarrkirche St Veit

    The Pfarrkirche St Veit is a baroque parish church resurrected from earlier Gothic and Romanesque forms. Its colourful frescoes are by Martin Johann Schmidt, an 18th-century local artist who was also known as Kremser Schmidt and occupied a house from 1756 near the Linzer Tor in Stein. Behind this is the Piaristenkirche, with Gothic vaulting, huge windows and baroque altars.
