Bummerlhaus

The Bummerlhaus is a stunning Gothic mansion located in Steyr, Austria, recognized as the best-preserved late Gothic building in the city and one of the finest medieval secular structures in the country. Dating back to the 13th century, it features a richly decorated façade with a striking cantilevered bay window and intricate architectural details. The building's name, which translates to 'little plump dog house,' stems from its history as an inn in the 19th century. Today, it serves as a branch of the VKB bank and is a notable landmark, having been featured on a commemorative coin in 1973, making it a must-visit for tourists and researchers interested in medieval architecture.
