The Petrović Castle in Kruševac, built in 1891, is one of the most important historical and cultural landmarks of Podgorica, located in the heart of the Petrović Park, on the right bank of the Morača River. It holds the status of a cultural monument.
This neoclassical castle, once the winter residence of King Nikola, embodies one of the key eras in Montenegrin history. The complex includes the two-story castle, the Perjanički Dom, the Church of St. Dimitirje, auxiliary buildings such as the first telegraph station in Podgorica, and a botanical garden.

It is an attractive location for MICE tourism, providing an exceptional venue for organizing conferences, seminars, product promotions, and lectures. The blend of art, architecture, and modern technical conditions creates an inspiring environment for business meetings and cultural exchange in the heart of Podgorica, representing an essential part of the capital’s heritage.
