Beli Dvor, Belgrade

Beli Dvor, Belgrade

Beli Dvor (The White Court/Palace) is a mansion that is part of the Royal Compound, an estate of royal residences and parks located in Dedinje, an exclusive area of Belgrade. The complex includes service buildings (kitchens, garages, Palace Guard), the Office of the Marshal of the Royal Court, etc. Designed by architect Aleksandar Đorđević, Beli Dvor is a severe neo-Palladian structure that was inspired by the 18th century English houses, such as Ditchley Park. Its interiors were decorated with English Georgian and the 19th century Russian antiques by French design firm Jansen, which later decorated the White House under the administration of John F. Kennedy. Although some historians claim that the building was completed in 1937, Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia was born there in 1936, so it is safe to say that the White Palace was completed at that time.
