Plans for the building were drawn up by architect Konstantin Jovanović in 1891, and it was dedicated on 18 October 1936 in the presence of King Peter II, after 29 years of construction. Because of its architectural, cultural, historical and artistic value it was declared a cultural monument in 1984.
