Steinertor

The Steinertor Gate is a symbol of the city of Krems, and it is the only one of the four former city gates that still exists to this day. The main tower, which dates from the late 15th century, bears a number of inscriptions on the outside, including those commemorating Frederick III and the emblem of the entrance to the city. The gate was restored in the late fifteenth century and designed in the Baroque style, and it is one of the must-visit places while touring the city of Krems an der Donau. Behind the Steiner Tor begins the Upper Landstrasse, the pedestrian area of Krems, which, together with the Lower Landstrasse, has been the main axis of the old town of Krems since the Middle Ages and leads to the Vienna Bridge, about 700 meters long.
