Serbian Orthodox Church

Intro

Classicist, 1859 church with east-west orientation and  parallel to the main street of the village, stands in the garden of the parish on the corner. The tower of the one-sided, good-proportion building rises above the choir. In 1866, a window-shaped area in front of the gallery was separated by a wooden carved and gilded building for women. The seats were exchanged for believers for money, and if the owner died, the right to use the chair could be bought by a new owner six weeks later, until the end of his life. A special feature of the iconostasis that shuts off the sanctuary is that the royal door is surrounded by miniature (postcard size) wood painted icons. We do not know his creator, although some of the icons contain the monogram of SZ. A. perhaps the name of Stevan Alexov. The walls are covered with sacred images. Most of them came from the houses of extinct families to the temple. Under the image of St. John, St. Nicholas, and St. George, they burn a candle on their name. The floor is parquet floor brick. Two beautiful glass beaded chandeliers illuminate the ship and the temple flags next to the walls. These are the gifts of the Serbs who emigrated from Deszk. The tower was repaired in 1963. In recent years, the external walls have been repainted, and in 1995 the roof was rebuilt.
