House of King Petar I Karađorđević

The House of King Petar I Karađorđević is a two-story residential building in Senjak with columns and decorative stonework from around 1900. The structure displays details such as pilasters and ornamental elements that reflect the artistic taste of the late Habsburg period.

The building was constructed in 1896 as a vacation residence for the Pavlović family and later served as lodging for the king after his return from exile. King Petar I lived there from 1919 to 1921, after his former court was destroyed during World War I.

The house carries the names and stories of the royal family through its rooms, which visitors experience while walking through. The displays show personal items that make clear how the family lived and worked here.

The house is located in a quiet residential area and is easily accessible on foot, with sufficient space to explore the exhibition. Visitors should plan some time to walk through, as the display is spread across several rooms.

The house was not originally built for the royal family but was designed as a private residence for a wealthy merchant family. The king occupied it only in the final years of his life, after war had destroyed his permanent residence.
