Kresija Building

[1] It stands at the Adamič and Lunder Embankment (Adamič-Lundrovo nabrežje) on the right bank of the Ljubljanica immediately downstream of the Triple Bridge, bordering Pogačar Square (Pogačarjev trg), Stritar Street (Stritarjeva ulica), and Maček Street (Mačkova ulica).

[4][5] The name of the building derives from the German Kreisamt, referring to the administrative office of the local Austro-Hungarian Kreis or district.

[6][5] Through the first half of the 19th century, there were shops and apartments in the building and the Ljubljana district office occupied its first floor.

Below a turret at the northwestern corner, a plaque was installed in 2005 in remembrance of the Manoeuvre Structures of National Protection, a paramilitary force that secretly operated in the building in 1991 and contributed to the achievement of Slovenian independence.

In 2008, another plaque was installed, dedicated to the Ljubljana Coordination Group of Independence Efforts in 1991.
