MAXIM STEYR

A one-of-a-kind filming/photography location in the heart of historic Austria

In the center of the enchanting medieval town of Steyr, Upper Austria, lies an extraordinary filming/photography location unlike any other: a beautifully restored historic property dating back to 1477, rich in atmosphere, character, and authentic architectural detail. Hidden in one of the city’s oldest streets, this unique venue offers filmmakers and photographers the rare chance to work in a setting where centuries of history meet carefully modernized interiors.

With its Gothic arches, cross vaults, venerable walls, and distinctive medieval flair, the building creates a visually striking backdrop for cinema, television, fashion shoots, music videos, documentaries, and high-end photography productions. Every floor tells its own story, offering a dramatic and authentic environment that cannot be replicated on a studio set.

The property features 11 individually designed rooms, many equipped with showers, washbasins, and whirlpools, as well as a spacious and visually impressive bar area with a fully fitted counter, entertainment pole, and imposing vaulted ceiling. Additional spaces include auxiliary rooms, storage areas, a laundry room, private retreat areas, two loft apartments, and an extensive vault, giving production teams a versatile range of scenes and support spaces in one location.

Fully renovated and technologically upgraded in 2025, the building combines its historic identity with modern infrastructure, making it ideal not only for visually powerful shoots but also for practical production needs. Its central yet discreet location in Badgasse, just a short walk from Steyr’s main city center, offers easy accessibility, nearby parking, hotels, and restaurants—an important advantage for cast, crew, and logistics.

This is more than a location. It is a cinematic setting with genuine history, unusual character, and a rare emotional presence—perfect for productions seeking authenticity, atmosphere, and unforgettable visual impact.
