Monument to Archibald Reiss

The Monument to Archibald Reiss is a memorial site in Savski Venac featuring an obelisk and a bust sculpture created by artist Marko Brežanin in 1931. The structure stands in Topčider Park and commemorates a Swiss criminologist who documented historical records of wartime events.

A Swiss criminologist worked with Serbia to investigate crimes committed by Austrian and Bulgarian troops during the First World War. The monument was erected in the 1930s as recognition of his work for the nation.

The monument honors an international figure who helped document Serbia's suffering during the First World War. It reflects how the nation valued those from abroad who supported its causes.

The site is located within Topčider Park, a public green space accessible during daylight hours. The grounds are fairly easy to explore on foot and offer pathways to navigate.

The monument was initiated by the Association of Reserve Officers and Soldiers, showing how local veteran groups drove its construction. This connection to military organizations made it a special grassroots effort to honor the figure.
