Dohodno Zdanie

Dohodno Zdanie is a Neoclassical building in Ruse featuring seven sculptural figures on its facade that represent culture, science, agriculture, crafts, trade, defense, and flight aspiration. The structure contains a main auditorium with 600 seats, five foyers suitable for gatherings, and the Europe Hall accommodating 300 people.

Built between 1898 and 1902 by Austrian architect Peter Paul Brang, the structure was originally designed to generate income through shop rentals and entertainment spaces. This blend of commercial and cultural functions shaped the development of Ruse's city center during that period.

The building houses the Drama Theatre Sava Ognyanov and serves as a major venue for theatrical performances and cultural events in Ruse. Its multiple halls create a living space for the city's theatrical traditions and local artistic life.

The building is easily accessible in central Ruse and offers multiple entry points for different events and performances. Visitors should check ahead to see what events are scheduled to plan their visit effectively.

The original sculpture designs were intentionally modified by artist T. Petkov from their German appearance to reflect Bulgarian characteristics. This adaptation demonstrates how the artistic work on the facade expresses local identity and pride.
