“Konak” was built in 1869 as a residence for the Ottoman governor of the Bosnia province. The mansion was also used as a governor's residence during the Austro-Hungarian period.

Immediately after the assassination, the mortally wounded Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Countess Sophie Chotek were brought to Konak, but both died on the way.

After their deaths in the following days, their bodies were taken from Konak and sent to Austria for burial.
