Description
Immediately north of Herrenplatz in St Pölten lies the Domplatz, on the site of the very center of the Roman settlement of Aelium Cetium. A Benedictine monastery was founded here c. 760, and in 1081 this became the Augustinian Abbey. In the 17th C. the Bishop's Palace (Bischofshof), a Baroque monastic building, was constructed around five courtyards; note the cloister with numerous gravestones. The former prelature is now an episcopal seat.
