Set in the quiet, green surroundings of Top\u010dider Hill, it was originally intended as a summer retreat surrounded by vineyards.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"286\" data-end=\"587\">Its connection with the Kara\u0111or\u0111evi\u0107 dynasty began only after the First World War. When Peter I returned to Belgrade, the Old Palace had been damaged during the war, and a new residence had to be found for him. Pavlovi\u0107's villa was rented by the Royal Court, and Peter I moved there in September 1919.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"589\" data-end=\"857\">By then, he was nearing the end of a long political career and a turbulent life. After the Serbian army's retreat in 1915 and several years spent abroad, he returned in poor health. He spent the last two years of his life in this house and died here on 16 August 1921.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"1275\">Almost immediately after his death, a public image of Peter I began to take shape. Official state proclamations emphasised constitutional government, parliamentarianism and civil liberties, while the more complex and controversial aspects of his political life remained largely in the background. This image of the king became an important part of the official narrative of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1617\">The government decided to preserve the house where Peter I had spent his final years and turn it into a museum. The villa was purchased, and in 1926 a monumental gate was built at the entrance to the garden. Decorated with royal symbols, it featured the years 1844, 1903 and 1921, marking Peter I's birth, accession to the throne and death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-32259-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-32259-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image-grid panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image-grid so-widget-sow-image-grid-default-8bf08a9600e8-32259\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\t<div\n\t\tclass=\"sow-image-grid-wrapper\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-image-grid-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_6251-1-1.jpg\" class=\"sow-image-grid-image_html\" alt=\"\" title=\"kuca kralja petra\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_6251-1-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_6251-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_6251-1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_6251-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_6251-1-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_6251-1-1-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_6251-1-1-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_6251-1-1-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-image-grid-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1807\" height=\"1346\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_121313-1.jpg\" class=\"sow-image-grid-image_html\" alt=\"\" title=\"kuca kralja petra\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_121313-1.jpg 1807w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_121313-1-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_121313-1-1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_121313-1-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_121313-1-1536x1144.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_121313-1-50x37.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1807px) 100vw, 1807px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-image-grid-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1043\" height=\"895\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124219-1.jpg\" class=\"sow-image-grid-image_html\" alt=\"\" title=\"KUVCA KRALJA PETRA\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124219-1.jpg 1043w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124219-1-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124219-1-1024x879.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124219-1-768x659.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124219-1-50x43.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1043px) 100vw, 1043px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-32259-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-32259-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-32259-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">THE DESIGN<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"2091\">The villa was built as a summer residence in the Academic style. Each fa\u00e7ade is different, so the house changes in appearance depending on the direction from which you approach it. It is surrounded by a spacious garden that still evokes the residential character of old Senjak. The monumental entrance gate, added in 1926, was inspired by the portals of the Old Palace and dates from the period when plans were being made to turn the house into the Museum of King Peter I.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2376\">The ground floor was designed for receiving guests, with salons and a dining room, while the bedrooms and private rooms were upstairs. The elaborate fa\u00e7ades, columns, pilasters, balustrades and mansard roof crowned by a dome reflected the social status of the villa's original owner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2660\">The planned Museum of King Peter I, however, never opened. One of the main problems was the lack of objects needed to create a comprehensive exhibition about his life and reign. Intended as a place of dynastic remembrance, the house remained without its planned purpose for decades.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2660\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124151-e1783761307460.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-32273\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124151-e1783761307460-297x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124151-e1783761307460-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124151-e1783761307460-1015x1024.jpg 1015w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124151-e1783761307460-768x775.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124151-e1783761307460-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20220924_124151-e1783761307460.jpg 1177w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2662\" data-end=\"2936\">After the Second World War, the building's role changed again.
