Bummerlhaus in Steyr, Austria, is one of the most important Gothic monuments in Central Europe and a symbol of the city's historic core. Built at the end of the 15th century, this imposing building stands out with its well-preserved gable and Gothic architectural details that are characteristic of the late Gothic style. The name "Bummerlhaus" refers to the statue of a dog ("Bummerl" in the local dialect) that adorns the façade of the house and gives it a unique appearance.

Historically, the Bummerlhaus served as a trading house and residence for wealthy townspeople who turned it into a cultural and social centre. Today, the house is a protected monument and a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its architecture and glimpse of life in historic Steyr. The Bummerlhaus is thus not only an architectural gem, but also a living reminder of Steyr's rich history.
