Saint Nicholas Church, Eger

Saint Nicholas Church, Eger, Serbian Orthodox church in Eger, Hungary.

Saint Nicholas Church is a Serbian Orthodox house of worship featuring neoclassical design with baroque ornamental details throughout its exterior and interior. The building is topped by a five-story bell tower that stands out prominently in Eger's cityscape.

The building was constructed between 1785 and 1799 under the direction of city architect Janos Povolni with approval from Emperor Joseph II. Its completion marked a growing Serbian presence in Eger during the late Habsburg period.

Locals call it the Rác templom, after the Rác, the Serbian and Greek Orthodox settlers who once lived here. The church now operates as a museum run by the Serbian Orthodox Church based in Szentendre. In the former parish house, a memorial room honours the Serbian poet Mihály Vitkovics, and an exhibition shows works by the Hungarian artist György Kepes.

The church stands at Vitkovics Mihály utca 30 and is run as a museum by the Serbian Orthodox Church based in Szentendre, so there are no regular services to attend. In the former parish house next door, a memorial room honours the Serbian poet Vitkovics Mihály and an exhibition shows works by the Hungarian artist Kepes György. Restoration carried out between 1960 and 1979 followed plans by Professor Rados Jenő.

The iconostasis was carved by Nikola Janković, a Greek woodcarver from Naxos born Nikolaos Ioannou Talidoros, between 1789 and 1791; the Vienna painter Anton Kuchelmeister made its icons. The south ornamental gate is the work of Giovanni Adami.
