Church of the Transfer of the Relics of the Holy Father Nicholas (
Serbian Cyrillic: Црква преноса моштију светог оца Николаја) is a
Serbian Orthodox church in
Bijelo Brdo, eastern
Croatia. The building of the church was initiated on 27 July 1764 with major works lasting for the following three years.[1]
Constructor of the
iconostasis is unknown but it is known that the icons on it were painted by
Jovan Isailović in 1783 while his grandson
Jovan Isailović Jr. completed wall paintings between 1850 and 1854.[1] In 1941, during the
Genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia, the
Ustasha regime destroyed the iconostasis destroying a part of the icons, while remaining were taken to the Franciscan monastery in
Osijek.[1] The church was converted into a
Roman Catholic one followed by forcible conversion of local population.[1]
