Bishop's Palace - The most important information

This imposing and magnificent building is one of the most beautiful and significant in the whole city. Right at the end of the famous Zmaj Jovina Street in Novon Sad is the place where you will find the famous Bishop's Palace.

History of the Bishop's Palace
The first palace was built by the great Bishop Visarion Pavlović back in 1741. Unfortunately, the palace was destroyed during the bombardment, so the question of a new construction arose in 1849. The entire project was designed and elaborated by the famous architect Vladimir Nikolić back in 1899. However, an omission was made as he did not sign it and protect it as his own work and idea. In his place, it was done by Ferenc Reichl, a man who is the creator of many interesting and unusual buildings in the north of Serbia. Izgardnja was officially completed in 1901.
