Steiner Tor, Gothic gate tower in Krems, Austria

The Steiner Tor features two large round-arched gates with stone carvings and twin towers flanking both sides of the medieval structure.

Built in 1480 during Emperor Friedrich III's reign, the gate underwent substantial modifications in 1756, incorporating Baroque architectural elements to its facade.

Three imperial coats of arms from 1756 decorate the entrance, displaying symbols of Emperor Friedrich III, Ladislaus Posthumus, and Maria Theresa.

Located at Dr.-Karl-Dorrek-Straße intersection, this gate marks the beginning of Upper Landstrasse, the main pedestrian zone of Krems.

Metal cubes installed at the base contain proclamations commemorating Jewish citizens who faced persecution in Krems after 1938.
