Hll. Apostel Peter und Paul, Serbian Orthodox church in Smiljan, Croatia.

The Saints Peter and Paul Church stands in a rural setting with white walls and features architectural elements typical of Serbian Orthodox churches.

Built in 1765, the church was destroyed during World War II and underwent reconstruction efforts beginning in 1990 during Socialist Yugoslavia.

The church maintains regular Orthodox religious services and ceremonies, serving as the parish center for several surrounding villages in the Lika region.

Located near the Nikola Tesla Memorial Center, the church provides visitors an opportunity to explore both religious heritage and scientific history.

Milutin Tesla, father of inventor Nikola Tesla, served as a priest in this parish and resided in the adjacent rectory, now part of the Tesla museum.
