Public buildings for storing corn in grain were used to store food for the needs of the population during wars or drought years. The buildings were built in the period from 1816-1859 and 1862-1899, according to the order of the state administration. The location of the buildings was always close to the central building of the municipal administration. One or more buildings were enclosed with a solid fence for protection. Constructive and functional buildings were built on the paragon from rural households. The chosen architectural solution was verified in practice with construction familiar to the population. This paper analyzes the circumstances under which the aforementioned buildings were built, the architectural concept and the urban position in the settlement.
