Palaca Gvozdanovic

The Vojković Palace, also known as the Vojković-Oršić-Rauch Palace, is a late Baroque building with three wings in Zagreb's Upper Town. The estate was built in 1764 for cavalry lieutenant Sigismund Vojković after he acquired two existing houses on the site. The architecture shows clear influences of Viennese and Styrian Baroque and stands out for its richly ornamented, raised central projection that rises above the roofline. Inside, a monumental staircase and stately rooms, whose decorations date from the time of the owner Levin Rauch, connect the main hall with the entrance area. After several changes of ownership and a period as city hall, the building has housed the Croatian History Museum since 1959.
