TheChurch of the Transfiguration of the Lord (Croatian:Hram Uznesenja Gospodnjeg,Serbian Cyrillic:Храм Вазнесења Господњег) inŠarengrad is aSerbian Orthodox church in easternCroatia. The church was built between 1791 and 1800.[1] The church is located in the centre of the village next to the mainD2 road betweenVukovar andBačka Palanka and near theDanube river. Before the construction of the contemporary building there was an older and smaller Serbian Orthodox church in the village which was built in 1704.[2] The first historical records on the intention to build the new church come from 1781 when at the time Vukovar Estates plenipotentiary Michael Cseh wrote to Count Hugo Philippus Eltz on the issue of production of materials for the new building.[3]
The full construction cost of the building was 5600 forints which was comparatively low price at the time and with the majority of costs being covered by parish itself.[4] The Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord was built in a period of intensive activities on building new and upgrading existing Orthodox churches in what is now eastern Croatia with bell towers being built at theChurch in Negoslavci andMarinci, reconstruction of the church in Ilok and construction of new churches inOrolik (1793),Tovarnik (1797),Dalj (1799),Opatovac (1802),Markušica (1805) andMirkovci (1809).[5]
