The Slovak Evangelical Church in Novi Sad in Vojvodina, Serbia, is a Lutheran church built in 1886 in a baroque-neoclassical style under the patronage of Count Adolf Rajzer. [1] [2] The architectural style of the church is characterized by an eclectic combination of styles from the second half of the 19th century. [1] Although the church suffered some damage during World War II, it has retained its original appearance. [1]

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. [3] This church was destroyed during the confrontations linked with the Serb uprising of 1848–49. [3] Construction of a new church commenced in 1884, and it was consecrated two years later. [3] Since then, services have been held there continuously. [3]
