On your left, look for the broad pale plaster building with a stepped double gable, rows of barred windows, and a painted scene above the heavy central gate.
This is the Innerberger Stadel, a Renaissance workhorse from around sixteen twelve or sixteen thirteen, built to hold provisions, not to show off... though it ended up doing both. Over the main portal, that fresco from the story of Joseph quietly explains the building’s original job as a food storehouse, and right above it the date sixteen twelve still sits like a signature. In sixteen twenty-eight, the Innerberger iron consortium bought the place and gave it the name it still carries. Those scratch-drawn plaster decorations around the doors and windows are called sgraffiti, designs cut through layers of plaster, and on the second floor a haloed double eagle carries the iron guild’s coat of arms. If you want, compare the earlier view with the restored facade to see how the refurbishment sharpened the facade between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty-three. Today, this old granary holds the city museum and the Steyrer Kripperl. Not bad for a storage shed.
Take one more look at that sturdy face before you leave it behind.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.
Started this tour with a croissant in one hand and zero expectations. The app just vibes with you, no pressure, just you, your headphones, and some cool stories.
