Sremski Karlovci Cathedral

Sremski Karlovci Cathedral

Sremski Karlovci, RS

The construction of the Sremski Karlovci Cathedral began in 1758 at the instigation of the Metropolitan of Karlovac Pavle Nenadović, on the site of an old church from the Ottoman period. In 1760, a tower and a dome were built according to the design of Zaharije Orfelin (1726-1785), and the church was completely completed in 1762. At the end of the 18th century, the cathedral was severely damaged by a fire, and it was rebuilt for the first time in 1805. In 1811, the cathedral was renovated with important changes, which gave the church neoclassical characteristics. A century later (in 1911) it was rebuilt and given a Renaissance façade instead of a Baroque one. The church retained its appearance after this renovation.
