Mohovo, Rural settlement in Vukovar-Srijem County, Croatia
Mohovo is a rural settlement in Vukovar-Srijem County situated between Ilok and Vukovar across rolling terrain. The village consists of scattered farmhouses and homes surrounded by fields and gardens that define its countryside character.
The settlement was first documented in the 14th century as a Catholic parish and experienced significant changes over time. Through the centuries, the village's population composition shifted due to broader political and social movements in the region.
The Church of Saint Nicholas Tavelić and the Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration shape the village landscape and reflect the religious diversity that has existed here for generations. Both houses of worship show how different faith communities have coexisted in this place over time.
The D2 highway provides direct access to the settlement, connecting it with Opatovac to the west and Šarengrad to the east. Visiting this rural area works best with your own transportation to explore the surrounding villages and churches at your own pace.
The settlement today shows a balanced mix of Croatian and Serbian residents that reflects peaceful coexistence among different ethnic groups in the region. This demographic composition is a visible reminder of the cultural diversity found across southeastern Europe.
