Manak's House, Monument museum house in Savamala, Belgrade, Serbia.
Description
Manak's House is a traditional Serbian building in Savamala with timber framing filled with mud brick and multiple exhibition spaces distributed across its floors. The structure preserves the original construction methods that were typical for residential buildings of its era.
History
The building was constructed in 1830 during Prince Miloš Obrenović's modernization of Belgrade and initially served as a residence for a Turkish notable and his family. The structure later underwent changes in function and purpose before becoming the museum it is today.
Culture
The house displays a collection of traditional folk art and objects from 19th-century Serbian daily life, gathered by Hristifor Crnilović. The exhibition shows how families of that era decorated their homes and valued handcrafted items in their living spaces.
Practical
The house is situated in a well-connected neighborhood with several bus stops nearby and street parking available in the area. Visitors should plan enough time to move through the different exhibition rooms at a comfortable pace given the layout of the building.
Did you know?
The building once functioned as a post station where local couriers managed mail deliveries for the entire region before formal postal services were established. This small but significant role shows how individual houses served important functions in early 19th-century Belgrade.
