Abstract

The article addresses various national architectural styles characteristic of architecture of the last decades of the Habsburg Monarchy on the territory of Slovenia. It places them within concurrent Austro-Hungarian architectural production and tries to determine their propaganda role. It presents Ivan Jager, Ciril Metod Koch and Ivan Vurnik’s efforts for designing Slovenian national style, while it also discusses examples of Czech and German national styles (the German Neo-Renaissance). In the concluding part, the author disproves the definition of Lászlo Takáts’ oeuvre in Murska Sobota as an example of Hungarian national style.
