The Slovak Evangelical Church in Novi Sad, Serbia, is a Lutheran church under jurisdiction of the Slovak Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Serbia, serving local ethnic Slovak community.
History
In 1813, Slovaks constructed the first church along with a residence for the priest, a teacher's house, and a hall that functioned as a school on what is now Šafarikova Street.[1] This church was destroyed during the confrontations linked with the Serb uprising of 1848–49.[1] Construction of a new church commenced in 1884, and it was consecrated two years later.[1] Since then, services have been held there continuously.[1]
Architecture
It was built in a baroque-neoclassical style under the patronage of Count Adolf Rajzer.[2][3] The architectural style of the church is characterized by an eclectic combination of styles from the second half of the 19th century.[2] Although the church suffered some damage during World War II, it has retained its original appearance.[2]
