1900–1940Almaska Church
The Almaška church tower from the street corner
A tall view up an unmade sandy street to the baroque west tower of the Almaška church, which rises in three diminishing stages to an onion dome and a cross, with a clock face on its upper stage and louvred openings below. The nave runs back from it under a steep tiled roof and a low wall with iron railings and a line of trees encloses the churchyard on the left. The right of the frame is filled by the flank of a single storey house that comes forward to a corner, its plastered front articulated by shallow pilasters, its windows barred, and a tall shaped gable with a small round opening standing above the eaves. Two men are standing at its doorway, one in shirtsleeves with his hands at his belt. A single overhead wire crosses the street and the roadway is bare earth with a raised kerb.
About this place
The Church of the Holy Three Hierarchs, known as the Almaska church, is the parish church of Almaski kraj, the old Serbian quarter north-east of the centre of Novi Sad. A wooden church stood here from the middle of the eighteenth century, built by settlers from the village of Almas; the present baroque building went up between 1797 and 1808 and was rebuilt after the bombardment of 1849. Its tall bell tower closes the view along several streets of the quarter.
