The Patriarchate Court, Sremski Karlovci

The Patriarchate Court exhibits eclectic architecture with Italian influences, featuring seventeen semicircular windows, Ionic pilasters, and a central porte-cochère entrance.

Metropolitan Stefan Stratimirović established a construction fund in 1817, leading to the palace's completion between 1892 and 1895 under architect Vladimir Nikolić.

The palace houses the Church Museum with an extensive collection of Orthodox artifacts, including icons, manuscripts, and portraits of church dignitaries from past centuries.

The building functions as the permanent residence of the Bishop of Srem and summer residence of the Serbian Patriarch, with scheduled visits for the public.

The palace's layout forms the shape of a Cyrillic letter 'S', incorporating a Royal Chapel above the entrance with paintings by artist Uroš Predić.
