The Church of the Presentation of the Theotokos (Serbian: Црква ваведења пресвете Богородице) is a Serbian Orthodox church in Inđija, Vojvodina, Serbia. The building was constructed between 1754 and 1755.[1] It is a single-nave building with modest dimensions, built in the style of the medieval Raška architectural school.[1] The interior of the church was painted by Jovan Štajner, a painter from Sombor, in the late 19th century.[2] Štajner also gilded the carvings of the iconostasis and restored the icons.[2]

Notable restorations include cleaning and restoration of the iconostasis in 1858, repainting of the Metropolitan throne icons in 1923, and interior painting by Nikodim Brkić in 1954.[1] [3] Major conservation and restoration work on the church was carried out in 1979, during which two rooms for candle lighting were added near the bell tower.[2] The iconostasis was conserved from 1980 to 1986.[2]
