The Marshal of the Court (Serbian: Маршал Двора, romanized: Maršal Dvora), was a senior royal official of the Serbian and Yugoslav royal household, in charge of managing the protocol and the functions of the Court, such as ceremony, audiences and travels of the King.[1] The position was honoured upon a high-ranking member of the military or a senior diplomat.[2] The building of the Marshal of the Court was called Maršalat, it was located in the middle of the Palace Garden, it had a characteristic semicircular base in the shape of a horseshoe, it was demolished in 1957.[1]

The last Marshal of the Court of Yugoslavia was Boško Čolak-Antić (1935—1941), the position disappeared when Germany invaded and occupy Yugoslavia in 1941 and was abolished after the War and the creation of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.[3]
