Synagoge

St Pölten's main synagogue dates from 1912 and has attractive art-nouveau features. The Nazis laid it to waste during the pogroms of 1938 and the building ended up in the hands of the city council, which used it as a camp for Russian forced-labour victims before the Red Army arrived and turned it into a grain store. Today, it houses an institute for Jewish history.
