The Neutor is one of the three remaining Steyr city gates, located at the entrance to the Grünmarkt and facing the town square.After 1572, Jakob Marconi built the Renaissance building.
The new structure’s primary goal was to protect against floods, which were particularly severe in Steyr in 1572. For two centuries, it housed the German school and, in the nineteenth century, the gendarmerie barracks.It has housed a section of the Steyr City Museum’s collection since 1969 (the rest is maintained at the adjacent Innerberger Stadel).In 1973, the south side gained a second arch for traffic reasons.To replace the historic iron Neutor Bridge over the Enns, the Hundsgraben bypass was built in the same year as the Schönauer Bridge.The Neutorbrücke served as a pedestrian crossing until it was removed in June 1974; the project was completed in October of that year.The riverside frescoes on the gate were restored, and a viewing balcony was constructed in place of the bridge.
The city wall, which was demolished in 1829, is mostly preserved in this section.A segment connects the gate’s western side to a fortified tower beneath the parish church.
