Sankt Pölten’s government quarter was built in the 1990s after Lower Austria broke from Vienna to establish its own provincial capital, the only Austrian province ever to share a capital with the federal city. The concentrated modernist complex houses the state parliament, galleries, and a major concert hall. Outdoor areas always accessible; 15-minute walk from the train station.
