The Löwenapotheke in Steyr (Enge Gasse 1) is a building from the 14th century with a baroque facade.

History and architecture

As the building closes off a row of houses, three facades with roofing windows and stucco decorations are visible: towards Engen Gasse, towards intermediate bridges and towards Ennskai. On the north side after Zwischenbrücken the building has a bay window . The baroque stucco decoration dates from the 18th century after the building partially burned down in 1727. The house burned again in 1824. The wrought-iron plaque shows a gold-plated, rising lion. The house gained special importance through the armistice between Austria and France signed here on December 25, 1800, which led to the Treaty of Lunéville on February 9, 1801 . A memorial inscription in the lunette under the bay window reminds of this . The date "7. February “on that is wrong.

The first traditional owners are the bakers Gabriel Vischer and Siegmund Freillinger , after 1591 the house belonged to the Spizl and Metzger trading families . Even in the 17th and most of the 18th century, the house remained in the ownership of traders. It was not until 1784 opened Garstner Johann Baptist Göppl a pharmacy . The house remained in family ownership until 1915. It has been owned by the Schaden family since 1919 .
