Krćevac

Krćevac (Cyrillic: Крћевац) is a village in the Topola municipality of the Šumadija District in Central Serbia, located 3.9 km from Zagorica and 5.2 km from Topola.

The region of Šumadija was/is densely wooded and so the village owes its name to the intense forest clearing effort that was undertaken when the area was settled.

Local lore holds that the area of today's Krćevac burned for three months before the land became clear for farming.

Krćevac is home to a fountain built by Alexander Karađorđević on 29 September 1858.

The Ottoman Turks referred to Krćevac as Karađorđe's House of Hajduks ('ajdučka kuća) due to the wooded areas of Krćevac serving as a safe haven for those who fought to abolish Turkish rule during the First Serbian Uprising.
