The Church of the Holy Archangel Gabriel (Serbian: Црква светог арханђела Гаврила) in Susek is Serbian Orthodox church in Vojvodina, Serbia. It represents a typical example of single-nave church building in Vojvodina built some fifty years following the Ottoman Empire forces expulsion after the Treaty of Karlowitz.[1] The building was completed in 1770 as the fourth church building at the same site.[2][3] The iconostasis, completed in 1779, is considered to be one of the masterpiece of Teodor Kračun, one of the most distinctive Serbian Baroque painters.[1][2] The church was damaged during the World War II in Yugoslavia when the local orthodox population of Susek was a target of Genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia.[2]
