History
The house that has been situating the Goethe-Instut from 1983 to present day was originally built in 1870. It is considered a cultural asset and belongs to the Knez Mihailova Street trade centre, one of the most outstanding representatives of it’s time. The house was built by merchant Kumanudi and named after his wife, Hristina Kumanudi.
Throughout history this house hosted the French-Serbian Bank, Consulate of Belgium and Great Britain, up until 1918. when it was assigned to the Belgrade merchant Nikola D.Niki. After his death, the house was handed over to the Belgrade trade youth.
