In this contribution, the author reconstructs, on the basis of archival sources, the development of Celje civil construction between the end of the XVI and the end ofthe XIX century. He establishes, that this construction was no lesser than the one in Maribor or Ptuj. During all these centuries, civil construction was organised by way of craft-guilds. It was mainly limited to its area, though in certain cases it superseded it, both geographically and as to expertise.
