Saint George's Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Description
Saint George's Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox church in Novi Sad with a single-nave interior and a triple altar apse. A tall Neo-Baroque bell tower rises above the western side and forms the most visible part of the building.
History
The original church began construction in 1734 but was destroyed in 1849 during a time of conflict. The building was rebuilt between 1851 and 1853, taking on the Neo-Baroque style visible today.
Culture
The cathedral takes its name from Saint George, a revered figure in Orthodox tradition whose image appears throughout the building. The 33 painted icons on the iconostasis reflect academic realist painting and shape the devotional character of the interior space.
Practical
The building sits next to the Bishop's Palace on Nikola Pasic Street and serves as the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Backa. Visitors should expect an active religious site where some areas may have limited access depending on services taking place.
Did you know?
In the church courtyard stands a Theophany Cross from the 18th century, recognized as the oldest surviving monument in the city. This modest cross predates the current building and carries deep roots in the community's past.
