Belimarkovich Castle
 The summer villa of the general Belimarkovich, the king’s deputy during the minority of the king Alexandar Obrenovich, is apart from the Vrnjci church, the oldest and the most eminent building. It is erected on the slope above the hot spring. It is patterned on the north-Italian field castles of that time, following the idea of his nephew, the civil engineer Pavle Denich, projected and supervised by the Austrian civil engineer Franz Winter, from 1888 to 1894. Most of the work had been done by 1889.
In this castle, the descendants of Belimarkovich lived until the 1960s, and in 1968 it was purchased for the sake of culture. The Law on the Protection of Cultural Monuments declared it to be a very important cultural value for Republic Serbia. Today the homeland museum is in it. The museum is very complex and it refers to the territory of Vrnjci Spa and its surroundings, with archaeological, ethnographic, historic collection (collection of graphic-tourist publicity of Vrnjci, collection of building heritage, collection of old postcards, collection of photos, collection of old photo negatives on glass), art collection (sculpture, pictures, graphics...) and natural collection.
