CHURCH OF SAINT NICHOLAS – Prhovo

Name of the church is the Temple of Translation of Relics of the Saint Nicholas, built between 1804-1806. Visitor of Karlovac Eparchy in XVIII century mentioned a new small church in Prhovo made of oak logs and covered with shingle. As early as in 1758 the church was replaced by a new one. Present church was built in early XIX century. According to Mate Kosovac the church was built in 1806. Around 40 years passed between the building of the church and placement of the iconostasis. Meanwhile, old church iconostasis was probably used. 4 throne icons of the old church iconostasis have been preserved and Professor Pavle Vasic gave a credit for them to Dimitrije Bacevic. The icons are located in the gallery of the Matica Srpska in Novi Sad. Present iconostasis originates from 1832 – 1841. Pavle Bosnjakovic made the iconostasis fretwork. As late as in 1840, painting works of the iconostasis were made by the masters Georgije Bojer and Dimitrije Djurkovic. Iconostasis fretwork is of classic concept.
