The building where Adolf Hitler spent the first few months of his life will now be turned into a regional police headquarters, the Austrian government announced.

"The future use of the building by police will be an unmistakable signal that this building shall never serve to commemorate National Socialism," Austrian Interior Minister Wolfgang Peschorn said in a statement.
Extremists have been traveling to the town to have their pictures taken in front of the house, news agency DPA reported, citing local witnesses.
