Birthplace of Stepa Stepanović

The house was built in the timber construction, filled with wattle and daub whereas the foundation is made of broken stone.

The organization of the interior is also characteristic, there was a division between the „house“, where the heart and sovra (a low dining table) for daily use were placed, and the „rooms“ for sleeping.

This type of a house originates from Kosovo Pomoravlje, from where it spread to the area around Belgrade by the end of the 19th century, due to the migrations of Serbian population.

Due to its architectural, ethnographic and memorial values, this house was designated as a Cultural Property of Great Importance.

An extensive conservation and restoration project for the house and two auxiliary structures developed by the Cultural Heritage Protection Institute of the City of Belgrade was carried out between 1984 and 1990, but the planned development of the site into a memorial complex which would offer a variety of educational content has never been completed.
