Steyrdurchbruch power station, Industrial heritage power plant in Molln, Austria.

The Steyrdurchbruch facility operates on the Steyr River with a 13.6-meter water drop, channeling water through an overhead system to power multiple turbines.

The power station, built between 1907 and 1908 by Kirchdorfer Zementwerke Hofmann & Co, initially contained two 700-kilowatt turbine sets for regional electricity generation.

The station building displays early 20th-century Jugendstil architecture with decorative pilasters and a tower structure bearing the facility name inscription.

The facility generates 20 million kilowatt-hours annually through automated operations, supplying electricity to municipalities including Molln, Sierning, Kirchdorf, and Klaus.

The dam structure incorporates a specialized channel measuring 6 to 6.5 meters specifically designed for timber rafting activities on the Steyr River.
