+381 21 2984 111Built at the end of the 19th century, it was the residence of the Serbian Patriarch until 1930. Today it is the seat of the Bishop of Srem and is officially a Cultural Monument of Exceptional Importance.
Originally, "Pasha's Konak" stood on the site of the court as the seat of the head of the Serbian Church after the transfer of the archbishopric from Peć to Sremski Karlovci.
By establishing an endowment to raise funds for a new court, the then Metropolitan, Stefan Stratimirović, began the construction of a court in the style of Italian palaces. That court stands there today and is considered one of the most imposing buildings in all of Serbia.

The Patriarchal Court also contains the Treasury – a permanent exhibition open to the public. This Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church consists of seven rooms that preserve the most precious objects of our history: a collection of valuable old manuscripts and printed books, icons, portraits, and various objects of applied art.
CvetnikThe oldest book in the Treasury is the "Cvetnik" and dates back to the 15th century when it served as a textbook for young monks. They could read about the lives of saints, rules of service, and find short lessons and liturgical songs.
Uroš PredićOne of the greatest Serbian realist painters painted the iconostasis in the Chapel of St. Demetrius in 1898.
Letter ШThe court is in the shape of the Cyrillic letter Ш and is a blend of Baroque and Pseudo-Renaissance styles.
