BRG & BORG St. Pölten, Secondary school in St. Pölten, Austria
BRG & BORG St. Pölten is a school housed in a three-story building with three wings adorned with Neorenaissance decorative elements on its facade. The complex contains modern laboratories, computer rooms, and music spaces for its student population.
The building was constructed between 1874 and 1876 by architect Ferdinand Zandra as a teacher training seminary for Lower Austria. It later evolved into a modern school offering various educational pathways today.
The school's name comes from a Latin acronym standing for Federal Gymnasium and Federal Upper-level Integrated Gymnasium. Students today use the music rooms and hall for concerts and performances that are regularly attended by families and friends.
The school is easily accessible in central St. Pölten with good connections to public transportation. Visitors can view the historic architecture from outside and participate in various school events and programs.
Before the memorial board listing those lost in both World Wars stands a 1950 Pietà sculpture. This artwork serves as a quiet remembrance space for students and teachers who gave their lives.
