Building of the Patriarchate

About Building of the Patriarchate

The Building of the Patriarchate in Belgrade is the administrative seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church, beside the Cathedral Church in the historic Kosančićev venac area. The City of Belgrade dates the present building to 1934–1935 and identifies Viktor Lukomski as its architect. The Serbian Orthodox Church uses 5 Kralja Petra Street, 11000 Belgrade as its official postal and contact address.

The building contains church offices, meeting and reception rooms, a court chapel dedicated to Saint Simeon the Myrrh-streaming, the Patriarchate Library and the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church. These functions are distinct. The nearby Cathedral Church has its own worship access, while the Patriarchate Library is an institutional collection rather than a general reading room advertised to tourists.

Do not treat the whole Patriarchate as a museum with daily visitor hours. Neither the Church nor the City currently publishes a general public-tour schedule or admission tariff for the administrative building. The Belgrade Tourist Organisation lists the church museum separately at 3 Kneza Sime Markovića Street and gives it a separate telephone number, but does not publish current hours on that listing. Contact the museum directly before planning a collection visit, and use the Church switchboard for administrative enquiries. The Serbian Orthodox Church switchboard is +381 11 3025 101. Exterior viewing can be combined with the Cathedral Church and Princess Ljubica’s Residence nearby without assuming entry to the offices, chapel, library or museum.
