The Lendava-Lendva Cultural Centre, an impressive 2,400 square-metre building was conceived by architect Imre Makovecz in 1995, as a multipurpose space for concerts, drama, opera and conferences.

It was a major new cross-border collaborative building project of the 1990s, funded by the Slovene Ministry of Culture, Municipality of Lendava-Lendva, the Hungarian government, and the Hungarian National Self-Governing Community of Pomurje Region Lendava-Lendva.
