The Name of Mary Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Name of Mary Church (Serbian and Croatian: Crkva imena Marijinog) is a Roman Catholic church named after Virgin Mary. It is in the capital of Serbian province of Vojvodina, Novi Sad. Locals refer to it as the "Catholic cathedral", or just "cathedral", even though the actual cathedral is located in Subotica.
The church was built on the foundation of an old Roman Catholic church, which was damaged during Revolution of 1848. This church was not restored correctly, so catholics from Novi Sad decided to build a new church. It was finished in the end of the 19th century, in 1894 by György Molnár. The church is a three-nave building, with gothic arches. The altar is made of carved wood from Tyrol, the windows with stained glass from Budapest and the roof tiles were made of Zsolnay ceramics. It is the highest church in Bačka region and dominates the city center of Novi Sad.
