# Lower Austria to Close 64 Asylum Accommodations

November 10, 2026 at 10:26 AM

> Deputy Governor Udo Landbauer announces the closure of 18 percent of the province's asylum facilities to reduce costs and attractiveness.

The FPÖ Lower Austria has launched a closure offensive for asylum accommodations, as announced by Deputy Governor Udo Landbauer and Provincial Councilor Martin Antauer. Since August, 11 facilities have closed, with 53 more slated for closure by late 2026.

A total of 64 out of 360 original facilities will be shuttered, representing 18 percent of the province's total. Major closures include eight sites in Mistelbach and six in Gänserndorf, alongside several others in districts like Baden and St. Pölten-Land.

Councilor Antauer stated the move aims to reduce administrative costs and make Lower Austria a less attractive asylum location. This follows the introduction of a benefit card and reporting rules, which decreased asylum seekers in basic care by 75 percent.
