About this place

The Officers' House stands on the Belgrade Quay along the Danube in Novi Sad. The army decided to build it in 1923 to a design by Jurij Nikolajevič Šreter, a Russian émigré military engineer; fire damaged the works in 1924, and Aleksandar Šumaher and Mihailo Plavec reworked the project so that the building was completed in 1925 and 1926. It was put up in a classicist manner modelled on the villas of Odesa, with Doric columns, a broad terrace and a triangular pediment. The ceremonial hall on the upper floor held balls, formal dinners and officers' gatherings, and the building is known today as the Dom vojske, the Army House.
