Before your eyes stands an impressive structure—the residential house of the distinguished Sarajevo family Dženetić. It was located in Bistrik, at the junction of Bistrik and Bakarevića streets. For a certain period, it housed the Beledija (Municipal Administration). The house is shown from all sides, with the entrance to the hajat on the northern side, from which one entered the women’s courtyard (ženska avlija). The photographs were taken in the early 1950s and are preserved in the Photographic Documentation of the Sarajevo Museum.
The description states that the house featured a magnificent ornamented plafond (a monumental painting or figure on the ceiling—a ceiling decorated with painted motifs or a specially ornamented light fixture), which was transferred to Vienna by Milena Preindlsberger-Mrazović, the first Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Austro-Hungarian journalist, pianist, and anthropologist, as well as the owner and editor of Bosnische Post, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Mrazović promoted the values of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the ethnologically authentic objects of Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the German-speaking world.
