The Lower Austrian state government is located here, although looking at this building complex one might easily mistake it for the seat of the new world government, but the bureaucratic monster needs to be fed. In any case, the Traisental cycle path passes right by here.

A bike trip to the government district of St. Pölten is definitely worthwhile. This modern district lies directly on the Traisen River and is easily accessible via the Traisental Cycle Path. Between the Landhaus (state government building), the Festspielhaus (festival hall), the Museum Niederösterreich (Museum of Lower Austria), and the striking Klangturm (sound tower), the largely car-free area can be comfortably explored by bicycle. Wide paths, plenty of greenery, and good cycle connections make the government district a pleasant stopover or starting point for further tours along the Traisen or towards the Danube.

The entire complex, which houses the state government, was built in the undeveloped area of the city's Traisen river bank over a period of five years. In 1997, the building was completed to the extent that the entire administration could move in.
