Muselim's inn

This two-story stone structure sits near the Kolubara River, with thick walls and wooden elements throughout that reflect traditional Turkish building techniques. The interior layout includes basement spaces and exhibition areas that occupy the lower level of the structure.

The structure was built around 1800 and became the site of a tragic event during the early Serbian independence movement. In 1804, two prominent Serbian leaders were imprisoned and executed here, giving the place lasting historical importance.

The building takes its name from a Turkish innkeeper and now holds two permanent exhibitions that visitors can explore. These displays document key events from the period of Serbian uprisings and make local history tangible to those who visit.

The building now operates as a museum open to visitors on most days, though hours vary by the day of the week. Contacting ahead is helpful if you want guided information or need to check current opening times before your visit.

The basement contains a reconstructed Turkish prison cell that shows how confinement appeared in that era. Models and replicas help visitors visualize the final days of the Serbian leaders who were held there.
