City museum Steyr

Steyr Stadtmuseum in the Innerberger Stadl.

Innerberger Stadel was built as a granary and warehouse in 1611. Today, the historic building houses the Municipal Museum of Steyr. The historic storehouse is a two-gable Renaissance building with facades that are lavishly decorated with sgraffitto. Steyr was at the heart of Austria's iron industry for centuries and the legacy of this thriving trade is on display at the Museum. Exhibits include folk art collections, a nail forge, the Steinparz Bird Collection and weapons from the production of industrialist Josef Werndl.

The town´s folkloristic collections:

• Scythe hammer
• Petermandl´s knife collection
• Steinparz´s bird collection
• Weapons produced by the founder of the Steyr Werke - Josef Werndl

Scythe hammer The technological construction of the scythe hammer, exhibited in the Steyr town museum since 1957, goes back to the time of Maria Theresia, as various studies and investigations have shown. Only original pieces were used, almost all of which are more than one hundred years old and have been out of use for a long time.
