Steyrdurchbruch power station, Industrial heritage power plant in Molln, Austria.
Description
The Steyrdurchbruch is a run-of-the-river power station on the Steyr in Molln that channels water through a system to multiple turbines. The facility harnesses the river's natural slope to generate electricity.
History
Built between 1907 and 1908, the station was created by Kirchdorfer Zementwerke Hofmann & Co to supply power to the region. This marked the start of industrial water use at this location.
Culture
The station building displays early 20th-century architectural details with decorative stonework and a tower bearing the facility name. This style shapes how the place looks and feels when you visit.
Practical
The site is easy to reach along the river and sits at a natural narrowing of the Steyr. When visiting, remember that the facility still operates and some areas may have limited access.
Did you know?
The dam structure includes a special channel designed not only for power generation but also for floating timber logs down the Steyr. This feature shows how the facility served multiple economic purposes.
