The Church of St. Nicholas (sr|Црква светог Николе) in Vršac is Serbian Orthodox church in Vojvodina, Serbia. The church was constructed in 1785.[1] The cathedral features a prominent iconostasis painted by Pavel Đurković and woodcarvings by Aksentije Marković.[1] German painter St. G. Laufer restored the iconostasis from 1865 to 1868.[2] Significant renovations have been undertaken multiple times, notably in 1909-1910, 1945, and 1968.[2] The most recent renovations occurred from 2003 to 2007.[2] The building contains a burial vault beneath the sanctuary where the earthly remains of bishops of Vršac and Banat are interred.[3]
