Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, Šarengrad

The Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord (Croatian: Hram Uznesenja Gospodnjeg, Serbian Cyrillic: Храм Вазнесења Господњег) in Šarengrad is a Serbian Orthodox church in eastern Croatia.

[1] The church is located in the centre of the village next to the main D2 road between Vukovar and Bačka Palanka and near the Danube 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.
