The Church of St. George (Serbian: Црква светог Георгија) in Banoštor is Serbian Orthodox church in Vojvodina, Serbia. The building is under the protection of the Republic of Serbia as a part of the Immovable Cultural Heritage of Great Importance. The Orthodox Church in Banoštor, dedicated to Saint Great Martyr George, was erected with an unusually low bell tower compared to other orthodox churches in the region.[1] In the same village there are also ruins of the Roman Catholic church that was built by Danube Swabians community in 1914 in memory of the medieval seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Srijem in Banoštor, yet that building was abandoned after the expulsion of Germans from Yugoslavia.[2]
