The first purpose-built hospital facilities in Valjevo

Krivošejev Vladimir (Narodni muzej, Valjevo)

The year 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of Valjevo Hospital foundation. During the century and a half of active work, the hospital complexes have been at different times in three different locations, from a rented house of a trader of Valjevo in the centre of Kasaba (since 1867), through purpose-built buildings on the edge of the town (since 1884) to the new, also purpose-built facility, on the periphery of the expanded city (since 1954). Of these three locations, the greatest interest of the public and the researchers of the past, especially when the great sufferings of 1914 and 1915 was concerned, was aroused by the second, with the first purpose-built buildings. However, considering this location, special attention was paid exclusively to the surgical pavilion of the hospital complex, built in 1906, while the facilities from 1885 were completely neglected, and they were presumed not even preserved. However, the research carried out in 2015 and 2016 indicated that two of the three buildings of 1884 exist today, in their original dimensions, but that their history has not been recognized, nor have they been registered and protected as a cultural asset-heritage.
