Sremski Karlovci: how a school turned to a tourist attraction?

07.08.2019. — Ostavi komentar

There is no story of Syrmia without a story of grammar school in Sremski Karlovci. At that time the emperors from the Austrian court were very much against founding folk schools. The then archbishops continuously sent requests to Austrian court, but without success, all until Leopold II came to the throne

The third son of Maria Theresia and the emperor Franz Stephen of Lorraine, the great duke of Tuscany, Roman-German king, Hungarian-Croatian emperor and the Czech king from the Habsburg-Lothringen dynasty changed the policy of previous emperors and decided to allow the archbishop Stefan Stratimirović the founding of grammar school in Sremski Karlovci. Thanks to the engagement of the archbishop and a reputable merchant Dimitrije Anastasijević Sabov, which gave a contribution of 20 thousand forints, the first grammar school in Serbia opened its door on November 1, 1791.

Syrmia also has its Lourdes

01.06.2019. — Ostavi komentar

These are the places of special energy and spirituality. Syrmian churches, small churches and chapels in the fields, on the slopes above Danube, in the villages, simply call for contemplation. You will enjoy their beauties, stories and legends

Almost unknown to general public and they say that Our Lady heals there. What Lourdes is for France, Ilok is for Syrmia. The humble Slavonians and Syrmians do not make a show of it, they pray peacefully since 1865 when on the place of today’s chapel suddenly a spring and later that night the figure of Our Lady appeared. From that day the spring is known as „Our Lady’s water“.
