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.
The church preserves Serbian Orthodox traditions and serves as an important gathering place for the local Serbian community in the city.
The building remains an active religious center within the Eparchy of Buda, offering regular services and visitor hours for those who wish to see inside. Visitors should dress appropriately and respect the church as a place of worship.
Inside, a rococo-style iconostasis holds approximately 74 icons that form the artistic center of the building. This collection displays the artistic craftsmanship of the Serbian Orthodox artistic tradition.
