Saint George's Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Saint George's Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Novi Sad, Serbia, built in brick in a Baroque Revival style with a single-nave interior and a triple altar apse. A tall bell tower stands at the western end and is the most visible part of the building from the street.
The original church on this site was built in 1734 and destroyed in 1849 during a period of armed conflict in the region. It was rebuilt shortly after, between 1851 and 1853, in the Baroque Revival style that gives the building its current appearance.
The cathedral is named after Saint George, a central figure in Orthodox tradition whose image appears throughout the interior. The iconostasis, painted in an academic realist style, draws the eye as soon as you step inside and gives the space its devotional character.
The cathedral stands on Nikola Pasic Street in central Novi Sad, next to the Bishop's Palace, and is easy to reach on foot from the main square. It is an active place of worship, so access to some areas may be limited when services are in progress.
In the cathedral courtyard stands a Theophany Cross from the 18th century, recognized as the oldest surviving monument in the city. It predates the current building and was already here before the original church was destroyed and rebuilt.
