Church Of St. George, Varaždin
The Church of St. George in Varaždin is Serbian Orthodox church in Croatia. The church is dedicated to Saint George. Work on church were completed in 1884. The church is located inside of Varaždin's main market place. The Serbian Orthodox Church of St. George in Varaždin is one of the youngest Orthodox sacral buildings constructed in Croatian urban areas in the 19th century. After the 1781 Patent of Toleration issued by Joseph II, the first larger Orthodox churches began to be built in towns and cities of Croatia (Karlovac, Zagreb, Rijeka, Bjelovar, Koprivnica) and the Habsburg empire as a whole. Complete removal of limitations for non-Catholic religions in the 1850s and 1860s led to a new wave of church construction immediately after the mid-19th century in the Eparchy of Osječko polje and Baranja, not to mention Otočac, Ogulin and other places of the empire where Serbs are considered people of a constituent state.

19th-century Serbian Orthodox Church Buildings
The 19th century began on 1 January 1801 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 (MCM). It was the 9th century of the 2nd millennium. It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanded beyond its British homeland for the first time during the 19th century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, France, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Catholic Church, in response to the growing influence and power of modernism, secularism and materialism, formed the First Vatican Council in the late 19th century to deal with such problems and con ...
