St. Pölten Town hall, Baroque town hall in St. Pölten, Austria.

St. Pölten Town Hall is a baroque building that combines architectural elements from different periods. The structure features Gothic seat niches, cross-ribbed vaults, and detailed Renaissance inscriptions throughout its interior.

The city bought the eastern half of the house on the Breiter Markt, today's Rathausplatz, in 1503, as a deed records. The western half followed in 1567, and the two parts were joined with a unified facade. The octagonal tower, once a granary and armoury, was finished in 1591; Joseph Munggenast gave the facade its baroque form in 1727.

The octagonal tower displays illuminated Advent windows during the annual Christmas market, created by students from local schools. This tradition connects the building to the city's winter celebrations.

The exterior can be viewed freely to admire the facade and octagonal tower, while interior spaces serve municipal functions. Morning light works well for photography, as it clearly highlights the baroque architectural details.

The mayor's room, the former council chamber, has a ceiling painted in 1722 with medallion portraits of Holy Roman Emperors from Frederick III to Charles VI. The sequence of rulers lets a visitor date the room's decoration to the reign of Charles VI.
