History
The palace was built between 1892 and 1895 as a project of Serbian architect Vladimir Nikolić on the site of the old "Pasha's Konak". The "Pasha's Konak" was the first residence of the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church after transferring from the Archbishopric of Peć to Sremski Karlovci. Metropolitan Stefan Stratimirović established a fund in 1817 to raise money for the construction of the palace, which was built during the reign of Metropolitan Georgije II Branković.
Construction of the palace was chosen to be in the style of Italian palaces, and the project was entrusted to contractors Peklo Bela and Karlo Lerer. The Royal Chapel the story above the main entrance was painted by Uroš Predić, and is covered by a hemisphere dome and is topped with a Lantern. The basis of the palace is in the form of the Cyrillic letter S, with the porte-cochère in the middle.

In total, there is a series of seventeen window openings with semicircular endings. The windows gives rhythm and uniformity, and alongside shallow pilasters with Ionic consoles and rails under the window of mass, gives cheerfulness.
