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. The architectural style of the church is characterized by an eclectic combination of styles from the second half of the 19th century. Although the church suffered some damage during World War II, it has retained its original appearance.
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. This church was destroyed during the confrontations linked with the Serb uprising of 1848–49. Construction of a new church commenced in 1884, and it was consecrated two years later. Since then, services have been held there continuously.
