It belonged to Jovan Belimarkovic (1827-1906), a regent to underaged King Aleksandar Obrenovic. It was built on a hill slope above a worm mineral spring and it dominates its surroundings. It was built taking Italian field castles of the time as the model, designed by his nephew, a civil builder called Pavle Denic, and supervised by Austrian architect called Franz Winter, between 1888 and 1894. Most of the construction work was completed in 1889 because King Aleksandar Obrenovic was a guest here in that year.
