Church of St. George

St. George's Church was founded in 1910, but due to the Balkan Wars (1913) and the First World War, it was not opened until 1930. The building serves as a mausoleum for the royal family, the Karađorđevići, whose tombs lie in the crypt. Its architecture is an imitation of Serbian medieval art.

Vraćevšnica Monastery

The monastery of Vraćevšnica was built before 1428, and the frescoes were completed in 1431. The founder of the monastery was Radič Postupović, a Serbian nobleman who lived during the reign of the despot Stefan Lazarević (1402-1427). After the Turkish conquest of the territory in the middle of the 15th century, the monastery was damaged and abandoned. After the renewal of the Serbian Patriarchate Peć, the monastery was renovated around 1579. In 1737, under Austrian rule, the monastery was renovated again.
