About this landmark
The ruler's court in Kraljeva Sutjeska is the remains of the Bosnian royal court from the 14th and 15th centuries, located on the banks of the Urva stream in Kraljeva Sutjeska, 12 km from Kakanj. It was built during the rule of Ban Stjepan II Kotromanić, and the first written mention dates from December 28, 1341. A market settlement developed around the court, and nearby is the Franciscan Monastery with the Church of St. John.
Since the time of King Tvrtko I, it was the most important royal seat of the Bosnian rulers and the center of the royal chancery. The palace complex consists of two parts: on the eastern bank, the Grgurevo site with the Eastern Palace and the court chapel of St. Gregory, and on the western bank, the Dvori site with the Lower Palace, Upper Palace, and utility buildings. The total area of the palace complex is about 1,490 m². The walls were conserved in 1977, and the Grgurevo site is now arranged as an archaeological park. The Royal Court has been declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
