Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Name of Mary

Comprehensive guide to the church and nearby sights: Novi Sad’s most beautiful church stands on the city’s main square. Built between 1892 and 1894, it is the largest neo-Gothic church in the city and the third tallest in the Bačka region, with a tower height of 72 meters. The building has three naves and a neo-Gothic vaulted structure. There are twenty stained glass windows depicting saints and church fathers. The main altar in the apse is made of carved Tyrolean wood, the stained glass windows were made in Budapest, and the roof tiles are Zsolnay ceramics from Hungary. The church also has four confessionals and a marble baptismal chapel. It features a mechanical organ with 24 registers and has four altars in total. I have visited this church many times. Currently, visitors can only enter the entrance hall, as the inner part of the church is closed off by a grille. The town hall is located opposite the church. I highly recommend visiting the Catholic courtyard located next to the building. It can be accessed from the main square, on the left side of the church. Here you’ll find the parish, cozy cafés, ice cream shops, and a photogenic fountain. From this courtyard, you can clearly see the church’s Zsolnay ceramic roof tiles — they are truly beautiful and unique. It’s definitely worth stepping inside to take a look!

I’ve never been to a church before, and it actually took some effort for me to go inside just to admire the stained glass. I even checked in advance to make sure there wouldn’t be a mass going on. Unfortunately, the entrance to the main hall was closed off with bars. Such a pity. But I’m grateful this building exists in the city, I love having coffee outside next to it, so beautiful place.

One of the most amazing looking churches in Central Europe! Very tall and the landmark of the city. You must exactly see this church if you come to Serbia. You may visit Novi Sad even for only seeing this! But unfortunately, enterance is not allowed for tourists. And I could not find good photos because I visited it a little long time ago :(

A magnificent Catholic Church, originating in 1719 and rebuilt because of war and fire. It’s the centrepiece to my life as I was Christened there and as a family attended regular mass there when we lived in Novi Sad. I still visit each time I’m at home. The scale of the church is stunning, symbolising the heart of Novi Sad. I’ve always felt it should be a cathedral because of its sheer size but it’s not. In fact, it has a dominating spire seen throughout the city and can easily be seen when looking down from the #Petrovaradin Fortress across the Danube. The roof tiles were made of Hungarian #Zsolnay ceramics that glimmer throughout the day. It is the third tallest church in the Bačka region after the Church of Saint Virgin Mary in Bačka Topola and Church of Saint Stephan in Sombor. There is also a peaceful church square to one side, full of coffee places, leading to some of the oldest parts of the city. A beautiful place to retreat and absorb the history of the region.

The Catholic Cathedral in Novi Sad is one of the most beautiful landmarks in the city, especially striking during sunset when the light hits its detailed facade. The architecture is truly impressive and stands out in the heart of the city center. Like in many churches, the wooden benches are not very comfortable, but that is a small detail compared to the atmosphere and visual beauty of the interior and exterior. It is a peaceful place to pause and reflect, and well worth visiting whether you are religious or simply admire historical architecture.

Nice organ concerts. I enjoy the peace and tranquility every time I come to this church, even though I'm not catholic.

It's an impressive church, with a nice open courtyard next to it!

We were lucky to visit this beautiful Church thanks to our river cruise stopover at Novi Sad. It was originally built in 1719. After going through reconstruction many times it was finally built in 1893. It is located right in the middle of town at Liberty Square. Its roof is so tall that it can be seen from distance. It's a Roman Catholic parish church and biggest in Novi Sad. Its neo-gothic arches are worth seeing. The stained glasses depicting saints are very beautiful. The ambience inside is very calm and peaceful.
