Cathedral church of the Holy Trinity

 

This church (1874) was built in neoclassical style. In the church port lays remains of famous Turkish fortress Baba Finka. The church was built from plans made by the ministry of construction and it represents single nave building with accentuated entry portals, a polygonal apse and a protruding rectangular choir, over which elevated domes rise with an octagonal drum. Academic painter Stevan Todorović and his wife Poleksija made the icons.

The Church is ideal for performing concerts of spiritual music with its acoustic and ambient.

The building of the church was delayed because of the local chief Ranko Alimpić wanted to start the building in a new town – Novi Negotin on the Danube. But, it never came to that and the building began on May 8, 1872.
