Officers Pavilion in Petrovaradin
1902Oficirski paviljon Petrovaradin
The caption is set in Hungarian and German, which places the card under Austro-Hungarian administration, and the message written across the picture in German cursive is in the same language as the second half of that caption. It is printed as a moonlight card, with a dark sky worked in over the roofline, and writing on the picture side rather than the back is the undivided-back convention given up in 1905.
About this place
The Officers' Pavilion stands in the Podgrađe, the lower town of the Petrovaradin fortress, close to the Belgrade Gate. It was put up at the end of the nineteenth century as quarters for garrison officers, on an L-shaped plan of two wings: one follows the building line of Beogradska street, the other runs parallel to the curtain wall and faces the open ground before the gate. Above a basement there are a ground floor and two upper storeys, with staircases in courtyard annexes and three flats to a floor. The street fronts are designed in the historicist manner of the period, symmetrical, with the corner where the two wings meet given the strongest treatment.
