Villa Kallina is a historic country house inZagreb,Croatia built byVjekoslav Bastl as the family residence for the wealthy industrialist Josip Kallina's son Gustav.[1]
The Villa was constructed between 1906 and 1907 at Jandrićeva street in the area of Ksaver on what was then the outskirts of Zagreb, now in theGornji Grad–Medveščak city district. Villa Kallina is considered a notable achievement of Croatian architecture in its own right, and the project was featured at the 1925Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs inParis and the Half a Century of Croatian Art (Pola stoljeća hrvatske umjetnosti) exhibition held in 1938 at theMeštrović Pavilion.[2]
The building is listed in theCroatian Ministry of Culture's Protected Cultural Heritage Registry (Registar zaštićenih kulturnih dobara) since September 2005.[3]
Villa Kallina should not be confused withKallina House, built by the same architect in another part of Zagreb.
