Banovci, Settlement in Nijemci, Croatia.
Banovci sits near the Serbian border in eastern Croatia's Vukovar-Syrmia County, with a population of 256 residents according to the 2021 census.
The settlement emerged in the 1730s as Vinkovački Banovci during the Habsburg Monarchy under Charles VI, becoming part of the Slavonian Military Frontier in 1745.
The Serbian Orthodox Church of the Holy Venerable Mother Parascheva stands as the central religious structure, reflecting the strong Serbian community presence in the village.
The D46 state road connects Banovci to Vinkovci and Serbia, while the Zagreb-Belgrade railway provides additional transportation through Šidski Banovci station.
Every January 6th, residents gather in the churchyard around a bonfire made from local oak trees, combining Orthodox Christmas Eve traditions with ancient Slavic customs.
