Sremski Karlovci Orthodox Cathedral
Sremski Karlovci, Serbia · built 1758
The Saint Nicholas Cathedral (Saborna crkva Svetog Nikole), also known as the Sremski Karlovci Cathedral (Saborna crkva u Sremskim Karlovcima), is an Eastern Orthodox church located in Sremski Karlovci, Serbia. It is under jurisdiction of the Eparchy of Srem of the Serbian Orthodox Church and serves as its cathedral church. Dedicated to Saint Nicholas, it was historically (together with the Palace of the Patriarchate) the seat of the Metropolitanate and Patriarchate of Karlovci, which played a crucial role in the religious and cultural life of Serbs in the Habsburg Monarchy. Constructed between 1758 and 1762 during the time of Pavle Nenadović, the cathedral is one of the most important examples of Baroque religious architecture in Serbia. It was designed with influences from Central European architectural styles, and its two bell towers and richly decorated interior reflect the artistic aspirations of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the 18th century. The church has undergone multiple restorations, including major works in 1805, 1909, and the 21st century. It is protected as a cultural heritage site of exceptional importance.
