Konak Kneza Miloša

About

Konak Kneza Miloša, or the Residence of Prince Miloš, is a historic landmark in Belgrade’s Topčider district, built in 1831 after Serbia gained autonomous status within the Ottoman Empire. Designed by architects Janja Mihailović and Nikola Đorđević under the supervision of Hadži Nikola Živković, the residence blends Ottoman architectural traditions with emerging European influences. Originally intended as a royal home and seat of governance, Prince Miloš Obrenović lived here until his death in 1860. The building’s richly decorated interiors include painted woodcarvings, Viennese and Budapest furnishings, and a chapel with icon niches. Today, the residence houses the Museum of the First Serbian Uprising, showcasing artifacts from Serbia’s struggle for independence and cultural transformation. Surrounded by Topčider Park, the site also features one of Europe’s oldest plane trees, planted during the residence’s construction. Konak Kneza Miloša stands as a powerful symbol of national resilience and architectural heritage.
