Church of Holy Trinity in Negotin, Neoclassical church in Negotin, Serbia.
The Church of Holy Trinity is a Neoclassical church building in Negotin featuring symmetrical design with classical columns and stone decorative elements. The structure showcases balanced proportions throughout both its exterior facade and interior spaces.
The building was constructed in 1874 and marks Serbia's architectural renewal following centuries of Ottoman rule. Its construction reflects the local community's desire to express their religious identity through European architectural styles.
The north wall shows the Nemanjić dynasty — Stefan Nemanja, Stefan Prvovenčani, King Milutin, Stefan Dečanski, Tsar Dušan and Tsar Uroš — with scenes such as Stefan's coronation and Saint Sava refusing the imperial crown. The south wall depicts Serbian archbishops, ending with female figures including Mother Angelina and Saint Petka. The vault, painted by Milisav Marković after Stevan Todorović's design, holds four compositions: Christ's Entry into Jerusalem, the Transfiguration, the Sermon on the Mount and Pentecost.
The church is accessible to visitors during the week and remains an active place of worship. It is advisable to visit during designated hours and dress respectfully when entering the building.
The wrought-iron fence around the churchyard, erected in 1893, is topped with stone pillars whose decorative spheres were brought from the Fetislam fortress near Kladovo. The sandstone for the pillars and bases came from quarries near Negotin.
