Cernik Jewish Cemetery

The Jewish cemetery is located on a hillside in the southern part of the village. The Jews from Nova Gradiska also used the Jewish cemetery in Cernik. While the cemetery was founded in 1800, the oldest gravestone inscription dates to 1871. Some of the grave inscriptions are written in Hebrew, German, and Croatian. Among the more notable buildings in the cemetery include the Schmidek Schulzer family ohel, built as a mausoleum, and the ruins of a mortuary. The last burial took place in 1942.

The Požega Cathedral was built between 1756 and 1763 and is named after the patron saint of Empress Maria Theresa, St. Teresa of Avila. The top of the first bell tower was destroyed during a storm in 1926 and was therefore replaced by a new one, which is 63 metres high. The interior is in Baroque and Rococo style.
