Beli Dvor ''(White Palace)'' was built in 1934 - 1937 , on the Dedinje Hill near Belgrade , as a summer house for king Alexander Of Yugoslavia (Aleksandar Karađorđević). The king, however, was assassinated the year construction began and it then became home to the Prince Regent, Paul Of Yugoslavia , and his wife, Princess Olga . Designed by the architect Aleksandar Đorđević, the palace is a severe neo-Palladian structure, reminiscent of the 18th-century English house Ditchley Park . Its interiors were decorated by the French design firm Jansen, which later decorated the White House during the administration of John F. Kennedy . After World War II Beli Dvor became the official residence of the president Josip Broz Tito and later still Slobodan Milošević . Today, Beli Dvor is one of the homes of Aleksandar Karađorđević , his wife, and sons. EXTERNAL LINKS |
