Zrenjanin Cathedral

Zrenjanin Cathedral

Zrenjanin Cathedral of the Saint John of Nepomuk is the supreme Catholic church in Serbian Banat, under Roman Catholic Diocese of Zrenjanin. It is located at the Zrenjanin main square (Liberty Square).

History

During Ottoman rule (1552-1718) a mosque standed at its place. Previous church was built in 1768 in the Baroque style. After hundred years, church was in very bad condition. It was decided that church should be pulled down and new, larger church should be built at the same place. Construction works started in 1864 by the project of Stevan Đorđević, and were finished in 1868.

Features

The Zrenjanin Cathedral was built in the Romanic style. Interior was decorated by Josef Goigner from Tyrol. There are organs which were made in Timişoara in 1907. Altar windows are made of stained glass.

Because Zrenjanin Cathedral is the biggest church in Zrenjanin, it can be seen from many parts of the city.
