Ugrinovci: Church History, Archaeology and Culture

• The Church of St. George was built from 1734 to 1779 and is considered a testament to sacred architecture and visual art in Lower Syrmia.
• Šančine–Sakule is a registered archaeological site in the cadastral area of Ugrinovci, dating to antiquity and the Middle Ages.
• Brestove Međe comprises a fortification, a necropolis and a settlement; the site lies between Vojka and Ugrinovci.
• A public bus route connects Batajnica with Ugrinovci via Šangajska, Zemunska and Beogradska.

The Church of St. George was built between 1734 and 1779. It is considered a tangible testament to Serbian sacred architecture and visual art in Lower Syrmia in the 18th and 19th centuries. This connects a specific construction period with a broader art-historical and cultural context.

These timeframes describe different things: the construction took place in the 18th century, while the church’s significance is also considered in connection with 19th-century sacred architecture and art. For travelers interested in cultural history, the church offers a clear thematic focus in Ugrinovci.

Šančine–Sakule is registered as an archaeological site in the cadastral area of Ugrinovci and is associated with antiquity and the Middle Ages. This location reference applies to the cadastral area. Brestove Međe, by contrast, is identified as a state-protected cultural property in the area between Vojka and Ugrinovci. The two descriptions therefore refer to different locations.

Brestove Međe includes a fortification, a necropolis—a large burial ground—and a settlement. The site lies beside the Roman road Sirmium–Singidunum. This archaeological site thus brings together several different components, while the mention of the road adds another historical connection. If you include these sites in your travel plans, it is helpful not to treat the descriptions as indicating a single location within Ugrinovci.

The City Municipality of Zemun lists the Ugrinovci Cultural Summer Program among its regular cultural events. The cultural and artistic association KUD “Sedmica” also has a long history: it began operating in 1979 under the name “Sedam Partizanki.”

One documented achievement of the KUD “Sedmica” women’s vocal group is its third-place finish in the Tradition category at the 2025 Youth Vocal Ethno Festival. KUD “Sedmica” also traditionally organized the Sremske Narodne Svečanosti o Duhovima, a festival called “Tkanica,” for the village festival of Duhovi. If you are planning your trip around a specific cultural event, check the program for that year.
