TheChurch of St. Nicholas (Serbian Cyrillic:Храм светог Николе) inŠid isSerbian Orthodox church inVojvodina, Serbia. The church is dedicated toSaint Nicholas. It is the primary centrally locatedEastern Orthodox church in the town and a protected cultural monument. The building was constructed in the second half of the 18th century and completed in 1780.[3][4][2] At the time, modern day Vojvodina was a part of theHabsburg monarchy in which Šid was located close to theOttoman Serbia. At the time of the construction of the Eastern Orthodox church in Šid, Habsburg Monarchy (nominally protector of theRoman Catholic church ever since the time ofCounter-Reformation) implemented numerous legal reforms such asDeclaratory Rescript of the Illyrian Nation andPatent of Toleration which improved legal standing of the Eastern Orthodox subjects.
