Niederösterreichisches Landhaus

The Niederösterreichisches Landhaus is a grand building in St. Pölten that serves as the seat of the provincial government and displays exhibits on regional history. Its rooms showcase collections on art, crafts, and local development while government officials work in the same building.

The building was constructed in the 18th century under architect Joseph Hohenberger and blends Baroque elements with classical design languages. Its creation reflected regional changes and the desire to establish a prestigious seat for provincial governance.

The Landhaus shapes St. Pölten's identity and displays the story of Lower Austria through its rooms and collections. The exhibitions show how people lived, what mattered to them, and how the region developed over time.

Visitors can join guided tours offered in multiple languages and explore the grand assembly hall and garden spaces. It is helpful to check opening times beforehand, as the building remains an active government seat.

The Hall of Estates, where regional representatives gather, features impressive murals and architectural details. This space continues to blend regional decision-making with artistic design from past centuries.
