Église de la Sainte-Trinité de Gornji Adrovac

The Holy Trinity Church exhibits Byzantine Revival architecture with traditional elements including domed roofs, ornate frescoes, and detailed religious iconography.

The church was built in 1903 through the efforts of Queen Natalija Obrenović to honor Colonel Nikolai Rayevski, who died in the Serbian-Turkish War.

The church maintains Serbian Orthodox traditions through regular services, ceremonies, and religious gatherings that connect the local community with their spiritual heritage.

Located at coordinates 43.499725 and 21.632806, the church welcomes visitors and holds religious services under the administration of the Eparchy of Niš.

Colonel Rayevski, memorialized by this church, served as the inspiration for the character Vronsky in Leo Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina.
