The Ruthenian Court (Serbo-Croatian: Руски двор, Ruski dvor, Rusyn: Руски двор) in Šid in Vojvodina, Serbia is a representative building constructed as a summer residence for the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Križevci.[2] The name of the building is sometimes mistranslated as a Russian Palace due to the archaic homonyms used for the possessive adjectives related to the local Pannonian Rusyns (predominantly Greek Catholic community) and ethnic Russians.[1]

Background

[edit]

The building was completed in 1780 and granted to the eparchy by the royal decree of Maria Theresa.[4] It was protected as a cultural heritage building in 1967 and received the designation Immovable Cultural Heritage of Great Importance in 1991.[2]

A female monastery was opened in the building in the 1930s, and during World War II in Yugoslavia, it served as a hospital for Yugoslav Partisans, which had a stronghold on the nearby Fruška Gora.[2]
