history

The city administration in Zemun was formed in 1751 and in 1755 the first city house was built. This was a single-storey baroque building with an attic that was used until 1832. After that the officials of the city ​​administration lived in it . It burned down in 1867. From 1823 to 1832, a new classicist city administration building was built next to the old building according to the plans of the builder Zemuns Josef Felber, which is still used as such today. The building is made of hard material with a two-storey arched baroque construction on the ground floor and an architrave on the first floor.

description

The building is symmetrical and has a flat, central risalit that ends with a tympanum . There is a basement , a ground floor and a floor . The arrangement of the rooms in the two-wing scheme arose from the composition and content of the city administration, which was divided into several service departments.

The building was expanded in 1836 according to the plans signed by the Križanić City Chancellery by adding an extension on the site of the former house of Miloš Urošević. The newly built part has changed the original purity of the classicist concept, although the structural and formal elements of the older part of the building have been consistently repeated.

The city administration of Zemun was housed in the new building until 1871. This was then handed over to the court that was there for many years. Since 1997 the seat of the Serbian Radical Party has been located in the building. The special importance of the object for Zemun to it according to the original provision and the public character will get a city administration and to the library of Zemun , founded in 1825, as well as accommodate the gallery of Zemun.

The city administration building represents the purest example of classicism in the architecture of the old core of Zemun. It is a material witness of the development of the Zemun municipal administration in its continuity from 1751 onwards.
