Serbian Home

The Serbian Home is a two-story brick building in South St. Paul with multiple gathering spaces, including a bar area and a traditional chapel section. The layout combines functional rooms with religious and cultural elements throughout.

Built in 1924, the structure served as a meeting place for workers from nearby meat packing plants seeking community and religious observance. After a temporary closure in the 1980s, it was later restored to serve the community again.

The building reflects the identity of Serbian immigrants who gathered here to maintain their traditions and community bonds. The chapel and displayed items show how faith and cultural practices were central to their lives.

The building now operates as an event center following extensive renovations completed in 2020. Since it hosts various gatherings and celebrations, checking availability before visiting is recommended to ensure access to the interior.

The original 1924 Garland multi-burner stove still stands in the kitchen, a tangible reminder of decades spent sharing meals and celebrations. This piece of equipment has witnessed countless gatherings that defined the community.
