Serbian Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in Rujevac was completed in 1887 in historicist style.[5] Church's iconostasis was completed in 1896 by Ivan Hochetlinger.[5] Some of its icons were destroyed in 1941 when a Roman Catholic priest Osvald Tot who was involved with Ustashe government took them away under the claim that they need to be restored and adapted for Catholic services.[5] Missing icons were painted by Dimitrije Joka in 1971 when the church was reconstructed.[5]
