After an intensive construction period of three years, the general renovated agricultural technical school (LFS) was ceremoniously opened. On this important occasion, the state councilor Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister received numerous guests of honor, and the ceremony was under the motto "Tour through space and time". Contemporary witnesses offered interesting insights into the long history of agricultural education in the Waldviertel.

The redesigned school building impresses with modern architecture and contemporary equipment, which enables the students to have a high standard of teaching. In the long term, investing of around 14.7 million euros by the state of Lower Austria secures the quality of the training at the Agricultural Education Center Edelhof. Director Michaela Bauer-Windischhofer emphasized that the second construction phase, which concentrated on the general renovation of the school tract for operating and household management as well as boarding school and the classrooms, was successfully completed. These modern facilities have been accessible to the students since the beginning of the school year.

The long tradition of domestic training

The history of household training in the Waldviertel goes back to 1923 when the agricultural household school was founded by the Order of the Dominican women in Göpfritz an der Wild. In 1957 the state of Lower Austria took over the school, and in 1972 the move to the district farmers took place in Zwettl. In 1981 the school finally found its place in the new building at the Edelhof location, where it still offers education for numerous young people.

The investments made by the state of Lower Austria underline the importance of the agricultural technical school for the Region and the training in the agricultural sector.

The celebrations at the opening were not only a milestone for school, but also a sign of commitment to agricultural education in the region.
