In the Austria of the 1960s, the visionary designs of architects and artists garnered international attention.

Since the town of St. Pölten was made the capital of Lower Austria 10 years ago, the subsequent building of the government district has taken St. Pölten a step forward into a new age - both economically and culturally.
