Church of the Holy Trinity of Leskovac, Serbian Orthodox church in central Leskovac, Serbia
Church of the Holy Trinity is a Serbian Orthodox church building in central Leskovac featuring a distinctive dome arrangement with one large central dome and four smaller domes positioned at each corner. The exterior displays Byzantine Revival architectural details including ornate portals and decorative window pairs set beneath arched gables.
Construction began in September 1922 under architect Vassily Androsov's direction and finished in 1931. King Alexander I attended the consecration ceremony, marking an important moment for the church and the city.
The interior was decorated in 1928 with frescoes created by artist Andrei Bitsenko, displaying traditional Serbian Orthodox religious themes throughout the space. These painted walls continue to guide visitors through biblical narratives as they walk through the building.
The church holds regular services and welcomes visitors who wish to explore its architectural features and interior decorations. Visitors should dress respectfully and maintain quiet behavior to respect the worship environment.
The structure merges elements from both Moravian and Rascian architectural traditions, creating a distinctive interpretation of Serbian church design. This blend of regional styles makes it a notable example of how local building traditions were combined during the early 20th century.
