White Palace

About

The White Palace (Beli Dvor) in Belgrade is a neoclassical royal residence nestled within the Royal Compound in the Dedinje district. Commissioned by King Alexander I in the 1930s as a home for his sons, the palace was completed in 1937 under the supervision of Prince Regent Paul. Designed by architect Aleksandar Đorđević, it blends British Georgian and French classicist styles, with interiors furnished in Louis XV and Louis XVI fashion. The palace features grand reception halls, a formal dining room, a library, and a marble staircase, all adorned with fine European art and décor. Its white façade, from which it takes its name, symbolizes purity and royal dignity, standing in elegant contrast to the surrounding gardens. Today, the White Palace remains a symbol of Serbia’s royal legacy and is occasionally open to the public as part of guided tours of the Royal Compound.
