Belimarkovic Castle was erected between 1882 and 1887, in Vrnjacka Spa by General Jovan Belimarkovic, minister of King Milan Obrenovic and governor of the minor King Aleksandar Obrenovic.
The marble building was designed by the Viennese architect Vintera in the spirit of romantic historicism, with Renaissance elements and heavily resembles Polish villas in northern Italy. The castle boasts a double-flight staircase leading to the porch of the first floor. Romantic inspiration may be noted in the Romanesque serrated towers on both sides.
Until 1968 the castle was still inhabited by members of Belimarkovic family but soon after that it was redeemed, renovated and got a different, cultural purpose. At that time it was also declared the immovable cultural monument of great importance.

After conservation and restoration works on the building that were carried out in the 70s, the castle was converted into a local museum with settings related to the territory of Vrnjacka Spa and its environment. Popularly called the Castle of Culture, today it is a showroom where concerts of classical music, different classes, schools and academies are organized (Summer Academy of Fine Art, Summer Academy of classical music, Contemporary graphics etc.). All this makes it a very interesting place for tourists and admirers of culture and tradition and one of the most attractive locations in Vrnjacka Spa.
