House of the Union of Hunting Associations
The newly completed building stands on Jovana Đorđevića Street, its name cut across the facade in Cyrillic capitals beneath a relief of a stag. Lazar D. Dunđerski designed the modernist block as the headquarters of the union of hunting associations then covering the Danube Banovina, and it was built in 1939 and 1940. The association's own account records that the foundations were consecrated on 25 June 1939 and that the building was finished on 25 August 1940. It held the association's offices and halls, commercial and service space connected with hunting, and apartments let to produce rental income. The building survives at the same address and is still associated with the Lovački savez Vojvodine.
About this place
A modernist building at Jovana Đorđevića 4, built as the headquarters of the union of hunting associations then covering the Danube Banovina, with its name cut across the facade in Cyrillic beneath a relief of a stag. Lazar D. Dunđerski designed it. The association's own account of itself records that a hunting house was under consideration from 1929, that the board formally decided to build on 29 July 1931, that the foundations were consecrated on 25 June 1939 and that the building was finished on 25 August 1940; a newspaper report of July 1936 confirms an active campaign for it in between. It held the association's offices and halls, commercial and service space connected with hunting, and apartments let to produce rental income, though the sources disagree on how many. The organisation had been renamed for the Danube Banovina in 1935, and a 1943 archival record calls it Savez lovačkih udruženja Dunavske banovine. The building survives at the same address, still associated with the Lovački savez Vojvodine, and since 2026 Jovana Đorđevića 4 falls within the Mali Liman ensemble under preliminary heritage protection.
