History of the Church of St. Apostles Petar and Pavle
The parish of the Greek Catholic Church was founded in 1780. Arsenije Teodorović stands behind the iconostasis of great value, and he was one of the most influential and most famous painters of the 18th and 19th centuries. The church was built in 1820, and due to the fact that many buildings were destroyed during the Buna, in 1849, this building has retained its original appearance in the Classicist-Baroque style. It was built for a total of 27 years and was reconstructed in 1997 when it celebrated 150 years of its existence. When the church received the golden cross, it was thought that Novi Sad would become the golden Kiev.
