Konak Kneginje Ljubice
About

Konak Kneginje Ljubice, or the Residence of Princess Ljubica, is one of Belgrade’s most significant architectural and historical landmarks. Built between 1829 and 1830 by Hadži Nikola Živković, the official builder of Prince Miloš Obrenović, the residence was intended as a royal home for Princess Ljubica and their children. Designed in a Balkan style with fortified palace elements, it reflects the transitional period between Ottoman influence and emerging Serbian statehood. Though Prince Miloš rarely stayed there due to its proximity to Turkish quarters, the building later served as the residence of Prince Mihailo during his first reign. Over the next century, it housed various state institutions before being restored and repurposed as a museum in 1980. Today, Konak Kneginje Ljubice is part of the Belgrade City Museum and features the permanent exhibition “Interiors of 19th-Century Belgrade Homes,” showcasing furniture, decorative arts, and everyday objects from the Obrenović dynasty and prominent bourgeois families. It offers a vivid glimpse into the cultural life of 19th-century Serbia.
