Church of St. Nicholas (Croatian:Crkva svetog Nikole,Serbian:Hram svetog Nikole,Храм светог Николе) inMirkovci is aSerbian Orthodox church in easternCroatia.
The church was constructed in period between 1804 and 1813.[1] It was reconstructed three times in the 20th century, firstly in 1912 duringAustria-Hungary, then in 1975 inSocialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and finally in 1993 during theCroatian War of Independence when Mirkovci were part of self-proclaimedSAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia.[1] The last reconstruction in 1993 followed war damages from 1991 when the church tower was destroyed and the roof structure collapsed.[3]
In March 2013 the church's wall was vandalized with an engraving of fascistUstashe symbol.[4] The same incident happened again next month, this time with the inscription in lacquer spray.[5]
