The Church of St. Nicholas (Serbian: Црква светог Николе) in Dobanovci is Serbian Orthodox church in Belgrade region, Serbia. The building was constructed on the site of earlier 18th-century church.[3] It features a classical architectural style with elements of Baroque, characterized by a rectangular single-nave structure with a semi-circular apse and a two-story, Baroque-styled bell tower. The iconostasis and high-quality decorative woodwork were crafted in 1836 by the renowned Vojvodina woodcarver Georgije Dević.[3] The icons on the iconostasis were painted between 1841 and 1842 by the famous 19th-century Serbian painter Petar Čortanović. The church also houses a rich collection of rare icons, church furniture, old printed books from the 18th century, and registers of births, marriages, and deaths from the 18th to the 20th century.
