The Name of Mary Church, Catholic church in central Novi Sad, Serbia
Description
The Name of Mary Church is a Catholic building in central Novi Sad designed in the Gothic Revival style, recognizable by its yellow brick facade. The structure reaches 72 meters in height and spans 52 meters in length with a width of 25 meters.
History
The current structure was completed in 1894 and replaced an earlier church from 1742 that was damaged during the city's bombardment in 1849. This reconstruction marked the restoration of the Catholic house of worship after a difficult period in the city's history.

The church was built by the local Catholic community and displays four altars with sculptures inside, along with a large painting of the Virgin Mary surrounded by Hungarian kings and saints. This artistic arrangement reflects the religious devotion and heritage of its congregation.
