Historic Captain's Palace on the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro
Dating back to the 18th century, Palazzo Tripkovic is considered one of the finest ship master’s mansions in Montenegro and offers private mooring for a large yacht on Boka Bay.
Registered with a historic designation, the ‘Captain’s Palace' is set in the village of Dobrota, which was once one of the most important Mediterranean maritime centres in the world.
Set high above the scenic shores along with an enclosed port and defense wall bearing the family’s coat of arms, Palazzo Tripkovic is named for the man who built it, Captain Andrija Tripkovic, head of the local commune and was a member of the Kotor administration.
The Tripkovic were one of the most important families in Dobrota and greatly influenced trade, construction, and cultural development throughout this region in the 18th and 19th century.
At one time, the Tripkovic family owned 18 vessels, with 63 members of the family ranked as ship captains.
The Montenegro property has been painstakingly restored over several years under the guidance of local experts and using original materials.
Palazzo Tripkovic is built of finely carved Korcula stone decorated in the Baroque style, with balustrades, cornices, and even a belvedere pediment crowning the top of the residence.
Spanning 11,840 Sq Ft, the residence offers 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms across 4 levels.
Surrounded by thick stone walls with terraced gardens, this waterfront property offers stunning views of the Bay of Kotor.
