St. Pölten, Capital city in Lower Austria, Austria
Sankt Pölten stands between the Alps foothills and Danube River, along the Traisen River, featuring both historical architecture and modern government buildings.
The settlement evolved from the Roman city of Aelium Cetium into a medieval town, receiving its official charter in 1159 from Bishop Konrad of Passau.
The Festspielhaus presents classical and contemporary performances, while the Museum of Lower Austria exhibits regional history and natural collections.
The Sankt Pölten Hauptbahnhof connects to Vienna through regular train services, with additional regional lines serving multiple destinations across Austria.
The Landtagsschiff, with its aerodynamic design, functions as the provincial government headquarters, representing the city's role as Lower Austria's capital since 1986.
