Žabalj – Golf, Culture and the Jegrička
Žabalj’s character is shaped by historic churches, the “Zlatni kotlić” event on the Jegrička, and the Golf Centar on the right bank of the Tisa.
Key facts about Žabalj
The cultural landscape includes Crkva Svetog Nikole, the Crna ćuprija Memorial Complex, and Crkva Snežne Gospe. Construction of Crkva Svetog Nikole began in 1832 and was completed in 1835. The Crna ćuprija Memorial Complex is located 10 km from Žabalj and was declared a cultural monument of great importance in 1991. As part of the revitalization of Crkva Snežne Gospe, plans called for cultural events to be organized and smaller exhibitions to be presented on the open choir gallery.
Which cultural destinations can you include in your selection?
Crkva Svetog Nikole offers a clearly dated historical reference: three years elapsed between the start of construction in 1832 and its completion in 1835. Crkva Svetog Nikole is 36 meters long and 12 meters wide; its tower is 53 meters high.
The Crna ćuprija Memorial Complex complements this focus thematically. In the case of Crkva Snežne Gospe, a distinction must be made between the existing place of worship and the intended use as part of the revitalization: cultural events and smaller exhibitions on the open choir gallery were planned.
