Tršić – Birthplace of Vuk Karadžić
Mačvanski okrug
Tršić is a culturally significant village in Serbia, renowned as the birthplace of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, a pivotal figure in Serbian language reform. The memorial house was constructed in 1933 on the site of Vuk's original family home, which was repeatedly burned during the early 19th century conflicts. Designed by architect Modrag St. Vasić with ethnological guidance from academician Tihomir Đorđević, the house replicates traditional 19th-century Jadar region architecture, featuring a log cabin style with a steep shingle roof. The interior includes authentic furnishings such as a bed, table, icons, gusle (traditional musical instrument), and a 1816 portrait of Vuk by Pavel Đurković. The site also preserves a large oak cross planted in 1897 to commemorate the transfer of Vuk's remains to Belgrade. Over time, the complex expanded to include a yard with traditional structures like a summerhouse, barn, and corn basket, and an amphitheater was added in 1964 to host cultural events like the Vuk's Assembly. The entire area serves as a cultural and historical monument honoring Vuk Karadžić's legacy and Serbian heritage.

During the turbulent period of Karađorđe's uprising, the original family house was burned down ten times by the Turks.
In 1897, local villagers planted a large oak cross on the site to preserve the memory of Vuk's birthplace.
The memorial house was built in 1933 following a fundraising campaign initiated by educational and cultural societies.
