Real photo postcard of the Herrenplatz in St. Pölten, Lower Austria, dominated by a richly ornamented baroque plague column (Pestsäule) in the foreground — its spiraling sculptural reliefs and cartouches in sharp detail. Behind it stands the Historisches Barockhaus, a grand three-story Baroque civic palace with elaborate stucco pediment and pilastered facade. Ground-level shop fronts with painted signboards are visible. Card no. 3642. Published by Photoverlag Franz Mrll., Wien 19, 1942.
