Abstract
The author discusses the circumstances of the commission and the construction of Zakmardi’s Seminary in Varaždin, in view of the newly-found original project designs. The designs are dated 1668, which makes them one of the oldest preserved construction designs in the history of architecure of inland Croatia. Zakmardi’s Seminary has a specifi c spatial organization with two rows of rooms fl anking the axially positioned hallway. This type of fl oor plan is characteristic of 17th century architecture, although it originates from medieval times. The author analyses its features within the context of secular architecture in Croatia, as well as the examples of the type occurring in the broader Central European area.
