House of the Veljković Family, Protected cultural monument in Savski Venac, Serbia
The Veljković family house exhibits academic art architecture with detailed ornamentation throughout its exterior and interior spaces from the late 19th century.
Built in 1883, the residence initially served as the home of Stojan Veljković, who held positions as President of Serbia's Court of Cassation and Minister of Justice.
The property included the first private museum building in Southeast Europe, constructed in 1931 to display bronze casts of Michelangelo sculptures and other artworks.
The house underwent extensive renovation between 1991 and 2007, restoring its original features after decades of neglect following World War II damage.
In 2012, the family established the Old Houses of Serbia association, connecting this residence to a network of historical preservation initiatives.
