Building
The monumental Neromantical building of the District Court dates from the beginning of the 20th century. Construction works started in 1906 and were finished in 1908. It has a dominant long facade along with the Begej river bank, cupolas at the corners of the building. The central risalit at the same time represents the most thoroughly modelled part of the building.
The building was built according to the projects of two architects from Budapest, who won at the contest - Sandor Eigner and Marcus Rehmer.
The Court House represents one of the major symbols of Zrenjanin. There are several interesting objects in the close surrounding; next to it is a Protestant church, and a Small bridge in front of it. Across the river is the Trade academy.

Famous quotes containing the word building:
“The rage for road building is beneficent for America, where vast distance is so main a consideration in our domestic politics and trade, inasmuch as the great political promise of the invention is to hold the Union staunch, whose days already seem numbered by the mere inconvenience of transporting representatives, judges and officers across such tedious distances of land and water.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Travelling is the ruin of all happiness! There’s no looking at a building here after seeing Italy.”
—Fanny Burney (1752–1840)
“Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building—like Tower Bridge—or a classical front put on a steel frame—like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living—not something added, like sugar on a pill.”
—Eric Gill (1882–1940)
