It is located near the village of Mokra Gora in western Serbia, in the administrative area of Užice.

[2]Küstendorf is a word play on German "dorf" (village) and Kusturica's nickname, "Kusta".

Küstendorf has a library, named the Ivo Andrić Library and an artist gallery named Macola in honor of sculptor Dragan Jovićević (it was previously known as Anika, after a character from Ivo Andrić's prose).

The streets in the village bear the names of various individuals that Kusturica holds in high esteem or finds to be personally significant: Nikola Tesla, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Diego Maradona, Miodrag Petrović Čkalja, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, Joe Strummer, Novak Djokovic, and Ivo Andrić, after whom the main street is named.
