New parking garage under the bishop's garden: 280 parking spaces planned!

In St. Pölten, drivers can look forward to a new underground cathedral garage! A new parking garage with at least 280 parking spaces will be built under the idyllic bishop's garden. As the city administration announced, the construction work should begin in the second half of 2025 after the original schedule has shifted due to archaeological work. The excavations that started in April 2023 are still running until the summer of 2025 and are a prerequisite for the start of construction.

The construction work is implemented by the DA Vinci Group and the Benda Immobilien Group, while the property is made available by the Diocese of St. Pölten. It was originally planned that the cathedral garage would be completed at the same time as a redesign of the cathedral square, which is now car -free. Nevertheless, the construction work should be completed in about 18 months, so that the new parking spaces will soon be available. In addition, a building project adjacent to the garage is planned in Grenzengasse, which is to be completed in 2027 and will include both business and living space, according to The press .

archaeological excavations and future developments

Currently extensive archaeological studies are still underway, which are essential for the planned construction of the garage. This work is not only important for the construction itself, but also offer exciting insights into the history of the region. With the completion of the new parking spaces, not only the lack of parking space in St. Pölten is alleviated, but also the quality of life in the city is increased by the further redesign of public space. The space is upgraded by these modernization measures, which is intended to increase the attractiveness of the city center, as reported.
