Alumnat St. Pölten, Protected religious monument in St. Pölten, Austria.

Alumnat St. Pölten is a multi-story building organized around two rectangular courtyards with a walled garden in between. The structure houses a refectory decorated with baroque artworks and a chapel for religious purposes.

A fire destroyed the original 15th-century structure in 1621, leading to reconstruction between 1643 and 1647. The rebuilding incorporated some materials and structural elements from the earlier building.

The chapel, dedicated to the Apostles Peter and Paul, was consecrated in 1507 and again in 1649. Its present furnishings date from a 1989/1990 redesign by Rudolf Kolbitsch. In the refectory, a pulpit with reliefs from around 1730, brought from the former monastery church, now serves as a reading desk.

The complex occupies the block between Wiener Straße, Alumnatsgasse and Lederergasse, with the walled Klostergarten reaching south to Fuhrmannsgasse. Since the 2025/26 academic year it has housed the KPH Wien/Niederösterreich campus moved from Krems, so the courtyards and garden are teaching grounds rather than a public sight. The late-Gothic chapel juts into Lederergasse at the north-east corner.

The main north-facing facade displays a 1932 painting showing the Throne of Grace above the portal. This work by artist Arthur Brusenbauch presents religious symbolism in a prominent location.
