The history of Radul Bey's residence
Radul-beg's inn was mentioned for the first time in the report of the Austrian officer Pokorni in 1784. According to legend, it belonged to an unknown Turkish bey.

After the liberation from the Turks, the inn belonged to the wealthiest Zajecar merchant: After the release of Timocka Krajina, the residence fell into the hands of the richest merchant at the time, Radul Gligorijevic, after whom this residence gets its name. After some time, the residence is placed under the jurisdiction of the state.
The last owners were the descendants of Radul Gligorijevic: The previous owners of the inn were Milenko and Milenija Radulovic, his descendants. Milenko donated his part to the municipality of Zajecar, while Milenia received specific compensation for her half. After the eviction, this building became part of the National Museum in Zajecar.
