DenominationCatholic Church (Croatian Rite)

The church follows the Byzantine or Croatian rite and serves as the cathedral of the Apostolic exarchate of Serbia (Exarchatus Apostolicus Serbiae or Гркокатолички апостолски егзархат у Србији). The church was elevated in Cathedral on August 28, 2003, simultaneously with the creation of the Apostolic Exarchate for Catholics of Byzantine rite of Serbia under the pontificate of Pope John Paul II.

The present building was built in 1784 but underwent a reconstruction in 1836, as evidenced by the inscription on the north portal. Between 1961 and 1963 there was the complete restoration of the iconostasis. Some restoration works were carried out in 1972.
