This unique building at 26 Kneza Aleksandra Karađorđevića Boulevard, designed by the renowned architect Milutin Borisavljević has for almost a century radiated style and sophistication, and is one of the most precious gems in the rich real estate portfolio managed by our company, which is currently used for VIP delegations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Harmonious, elegant, and sophisticated. Already at first glance, even from afar, this is the impression left by the elegant palace at 26 Kneza Aleksandra Karađorđevića Boulevard. This pre-war beauty, sometimes also known as the Diplomatic Villa, though almost a century old, still captivates with the same aristocratic charm as in the days when it was first built. This unique residence is one of the shiniest gems in the rich real estate portfolio managed by Dipos, and is today used for VIP delegations by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This impressive two-floor building in the neighbourhood of Dedinje, typical of pre-war Belgrade architecture, was designed by the renowned architect Milutin Borisavljević, and built in 1939. It is characterised by a striking Neoclassical style modelled after the French renaissance, which has lost none of its appeal to this day. The building, constructed for the pre-war director of the Prague Bank, Karel Husnik, along with the neighbouring villa at number 25, is among Borisavljević’s last designs, as he left Serbia after the war and spent the rest of his life in Paris, the city where he was first schooled.
The style of Borisavljević’s architecture is eclectic, achieving a sense of monumentality through the use of tall pillars and pilasters, lavish stairways, and railings of well-maintained gardens. Borisavljević had refined this style for years beforehand, designing the most lavish residential buildings of pre-war Belgrade.

The residence is known for its monumental façade with detailed ornaments and a spacious garden that surrounds it. The palace can be reached via a cobblestone path, which reinforces the connection between the whole complex and nature and its order. The park, filled with trees and ornamental plants, is decorated with wrought iron lanterns and candelabras, which are richly decorated with floral motifs.
‘The green surface highlights the beauty of the building, rising on a gentle elevation, magnificently crowned by sculpted figures at the very top. The simple yet elegant ornaments are complemented by the Ionian capitals, whereas the entrance to the building is adorned by the portico supported by massive monumental pillars’, states the monograph published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and dedicated to this unique Belgrade residence, known as the Diplomatic Villa.
A view of the lively and opulent façade of this building is reminiscent of the magnificence of the Parisian facades and the atmosphere of French 19th century novels. The sculptures inspired by the period of Louis XIV highlight the dynamism and splendour of decorations, whereas the classicist figures accentuate the peace and elegance of decorative form. The balustrades add particular beauty, which, together with the rich relief sculpture, make the façade dynamic and inspirational.
