Sternhaus, Heritage townhouse in Stadtplatz, Steyr, Austria.

The five-axis facade of Sternhaus features a continuous central bay with cherubic figures above second-story windows depicting human senses through stone carvings.

Following the devastating city fire of 1727, the building underwent reconstruction, incorporating a late Baroque front while preserving Gothic elements like the portal.

The entrance portal displays two birds of prey holding a golden star, representing the iron trade that formed the economic foundation of Steyr.

Located at Stadtplatz 12 in Steyr, visitors can examine the exterior architecture and decorative elements of the building throughout the day.

The building's facade creates an optical illusion by concealing the actual roof structure, making the structure appear taller than its true height.
