history

In 1986 St. Pölten became the capital of Lower Austria . Therefore, the state government with the office of the Lower Austrian state government should move here from the Herrengasse in Vienna . The Austrian architect Ernst Hoffmann emerged as the winner of an international architectural competition. In 1992 the groundbreaking took place under Governor Siegfried Ludwig .

The entire complex, which houses the state government, was built in five years in the undeveloped area of ​​the city's banks of the Traisen. In 1997 the building was finished so that the entire administration could move.

On the banks of the Traisen is the state parliament building , which, according to its shape, is called the ship . The 80 m high sound tower rises behind it . Directly connected to the area is the cultural district of St. Poelten where the Festspielhaus St. Pölten , an exhibition hall of Hans Hollein , and the National Museum are housed.
