The neo-renaissance building of the Narodni dom (literally the Nation's Home) lines a part of the Trg celjskih knezov (The Counts of Celje Square). It was built in 1895-1896 according to the plans of the Czech architect Vladimir Hrasky. During the time of the old Austria, the Celje National House was the cultural and social center of the citizens of Celje, and today it houses the premises of the Municipality of Celje and the Administrative Unit of Celje.

At the time of its creation, the Narodni dom was a symbol of Sloveneness in the fierce struggle against Germanization in the city at the time. A public library operated in the National House, where it was possible to borrow materials free of charge from 1906.

The National Center still has the character of a cultural centre. It has four halls in which various events and concerts are held.
