An incredible mausoleum for the Serbian royal family with more than 700 works with nearly 1500 different tones of colours of the Murano glasses. This is a must if you visit Serbia. The tickets are for 4 different facilities around Topola and cost near 5€. Worth to visit.

A wonderful place to visit. Many rooms to see, and take in the experience. Much history and relics all over. This church is in use today and a great place to sit and worship. There is a gift shop and donations are welcome as well. Take your time in this one, and be amazed at all the wonderful little things to see.

Entrance 500 dinara incided for five historic places. This is fantastic chutch and musoleum of royal family . Great to see and very good guide that will inform you of all facts related to the build and cripts. Kids friendly

Amazing place to learn the history about the kings of serbia, there is also a beautiful green area to walk, you can so buy home made wine in the surrounded area, there is also a beautiful scenics views

It is shame that they are asking entrance fee for the church. It is not the case around the world in way more populare churches/cathedrals/mosques and in Serbia as well. I as an Orthodox Christian can not enter the church, it is ridiculous and not to say how rude they are at the entrance like they own the world. I understand if crypts are extra and tbey ask for the ticket but not alowing people to go inside and see frescoes is a big shame of Serbian church or whoever owns this place. Just couple of years ago it was free. Church itself is beautiful.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful look inside and out. Beautiful mosaics. (Original) Prelep izgled unutra i spolja.Prelepi mozaici.

We really enjoyed the walk to the top of the hill where this wonderful church is. The whole complex is really in a wonderful place with lush vegetation around the church for all lovers of walking in nature. Visit Oplenac and enjoy the silence and peace!!!😁

(Translated by Google) The Church of St. George in Oplenac is a memorial church and mausoleum of the Karadjordjevic dynasty, which was built as his endowment by King Peter I Karadjordjevic. Oplenac is a hill near Topola where Prince Aleksandar Karađorđević built the first vineyards, and King Petar I Karađorđević started building the church mausoleum and the entire historical-memorial complex, which will later become the Endowment of King Peter I in Oplenac. Today, the complex includes, in addition to the church of St. George, the mausoleum of the Serbian royal family, the king's vineyards and winery, the Vinogradar's house, the house of King Peter in Oplenac and Karadjordjev konak within Karadjordjev grad in Topola. Kraljeva and Kraljičina vila are under the administration of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, while Hotel Oplenac was previously privatized. The name of the hill comes from the oplen, wooden parts of ox-carts which were made of oak and cera with which this hill was covered. The church is a five-domed building. The inner length of the temple is 30 meters, and the height of the vault is 27 meters. The church is placed on a high plinth made of massive white marble, from Venčac. (Original) Црква Светог Ђорђа на Опленцу је спомен-црква и маузолеј династије Карађорђевић, коју је као своју задужбину подигао краљ Петар I Карађорђевић. Опленац је брдо поред Тополе на коме је кнез Александар Карађорђевић подигао прве винограде, а краљ Петар I Карађорђевић је почео зидање цркве маузолеја и целог историјско—меморијалног комплекса који ће потом постати Задужбина Kраљa Петрa I на Опленцу. Данас комплекс обухвата поред цркве Светог Ђорђа, маузолеја српске краљевске породице, и краљеве винограде и винарију, Виноградареву кућу, кућу краља Петра на Опленцу и Карађорђев конак у оквиру Карађорђевог града у Тополи. Краљева и Краљичина вила су под управом Владе Републике Србије, док је Хотел Опленац раније приватизован. Назив брда потиче од оплена, дрвених делова воловских кола која су се правила од храста и цера којима је ово брдо било прекривено. Црква је петокуполна грађевина. Унутрашња дужина храма је 30 метара, а висина свода 27 метара.Црква је постављена на високом соклу од масивног белог мермера, са Венчаца.

(Translated by Google) The church is in a beautiful oak forest and that's it. Maybe we would see if it is beautiful inside, if they hadn't asked us for 500 dinars for the entrance! I don't know if it is the official position of the Serbian Orthodox Church or the decision of an individual bishop, but it is shameful in any case. They should offer their believers peace, not a tariff! (Original) Crkva je u divnoj hrastovoj sumi i to je to. Mozda bismo videli i da li je unutra lepa, da nam na ulazu nisu trazili 500 din za ulaz! Ne znam da li je to zvanican stav SPC ili odluka pojedinacnog vladike, ali je sramotna u svakom slucaju. Trebalo bi svojim vernicima da nude mir, a ne tarifu!

(Translated by Google) It is a pity that they charge for the entrance, during the holidays, Sretenje, the day of statehood. Ticket for the church, 500 dinars. SHAME !!!! (Original) Штета што наплаћују улаз, за време празника, Сретење, дан државности.Улазница за цркву, 500 дин.СРАМОТА!!!!

Great escape just an hour from Belgrade. Beautiful church and piece of Serbian history.

Beautiful place.

There are 28 Dynasty buried in the Holy Martyr George church Entrance fee is 500 RSD per person which includes 3 places ticket Must visit place in Serbia where the history starts from Martyr George who got the Dynasy from Othman Emporoers

Entry fee : 500 RSD per person. Mode of payment : Cash. Beautiful mosaic art inside this 19th century structure. Basement looks a bit scary with cremations of the royal family members.... The detailed art with Gold embeddings are simply spectacular !!!

A place of historical significance for the modern Serbian state, well maintained and with a calming, serene atmosphere. Would recommend visiting, especially on a clear spring day. There's a nice view of the vineyards right behind the church. There is an entrance fee of 500rsd (about 4,3 EUR)but it covers all important landmarks in the vicinity.

You can buy tickets fir entrance in the church and see graves of the kings, also tickets will be useful for other museums and tourist sites with guides. It is very nice to hear about it into a church. I recommend.

In the name of the father, son and the holy spirit, amin 🙏🏻

The place is really really impressive and a must to see but the ladies who are working in the church and the Museum on the hill of Oplenac are hopeless. All they do the whole day is receive messages on their phones and smoke cigarettes and shake their head when you ask something. I got help from a very decent gentleman who had a great knowledge on a few questions I asked but the ladies made me feel like I'm in a place where it's stupid to ask questions. Find the gentleman if you need information and ignore the ladies. It's a beautiful place to be, do not miss it if you're around Topola.

Interesting Church and nearby museum with collection of former King and Queen.

(Translated by Google) A beauty that only if you come and see you can make a real impression! (Original) Lepota koju samo ako dodjete i vidite mozete imati pravi utisak!

The scenery is very beautiful, if you are in the area I'd definitely recommend visiting.

We visited the Church of St. George and the Museum but it was so worth it. The frescoes are really beautiful but you want to make sure to visit on a bright and sunny day to get a full scope of beautiful colors (especially gold and opal) glistening and shining in full power. Our luck was a bit different but still with overcast day we managed to get some nice pictures. The museum, although small, has very interesting things from the royal family on display.

(Translated by Google) It is a shame that you charge entrance to the Church! (Original) Sramota je da naplaćujete ulaz u Crkvu!

Beautiful place

500 Dinar Entry Fees.... Beautiful

Wonderful, shows how powerfull and humble ktitor's family was.

Beautiful church and decorations. Mosaics are magical.

If you visit Serbia, this is the MUST place to visit. Pice of history, and amazing structure. What amazed me the most, they started building it in 1910 and it was finished in 1912. Over 40 million small tiles was used for interior walls, and over 15 thousand color shins. Simply one word.... AMAZING!!!!

Beautiful mausoleum and amazing history of the place.

Place of Heavenly Peace and History

Absolutely amazing! History about the church is astounding as well!

Beautiful summer retreat for the royal family. The church is so beautiful and the forest as well. Highly recommend to spend some times here on a beautiful sunny day.

One if the most beautifull church i have been at. Worth visiting and hearing about its history.

(Translated by Google) Interesting (Original) Zanimljivo

(Translated by Google) Oplenac is one of the most beautiful places in Serbia. The church in the forest, built by Karadjordjevic, is made of mosaic, which, after the Temple of Saint Sava in Belgrade, is the most beautiful mosaic in Serbia.

Absolutely lovely part of the world and church. Just note it’s 400pp to view inside the church. It use to be free. I’d always be happy to leave a large donation for the upkeep. But turning it into a business isn’t ideal.

A great part of Serbian history

Magnificent church / mausoleum! A lot of history ams fine art!

An impressive mosaic is welcoming you at the entrance which is brought from Venice. My favorite point is the dome. It is located on top of hill Topola surrrounded by vineyards. The entrance is free.

Unlikely pearl in otherwise unimpressive and half-abandoned Karageorge's complex. Stunning mosaics and of course mausoleum of short Karageorgevich dynasty. Worth stopping by.

Very nice church in beautiful area. Part of history.

Beutiful church. Intereating. Great guide

Beautiful church great views all around it

Great place to visit for a history buf. The church and surrounding area are well maintained.

(Translated by Google) I only saw the church from the outside, when I came in and wanted to pray, I was greeted by a "clerk" who asked me rather rudely if I had a ticket to visit ?! Disappointed and surprised, I came out with a question in my mind ... Did I? entry and prayer in our places of worship pays? (Original) Crkvu sam videla samo spolja,kad sam ušla i poželela da se pomolim dočekala me je"službenica" koja me je,prilično,neljubazno pitala imam li ulaznicu za posetu?!Razočarana i iznenađena izašla sam sa pitanjem u mislima...Zar se i ulazak i molitva u našim bogomoljama plaća?

A place of great historical value for Serbia

The area is really lovely, from the parking a pedestrian small street between the threes is going up to the hill. No more than 150 metres. The church outside is really nice, the white call really makes a difference from the green threes. The inside of the church is spectacular, with the mosaics and the colos. There is a guide at the entrance that will shortly explain the history. There was a ticket when I when there, 4oo din, but you also use the same ticket to check the house of Petar, the house of winery and Karadjordjev Konak, which can take you, up to two hours walking in really nice area with wonderful landscape. However, the church is great, check the pictures and videos, but it is a must see and you can learn Serbian history. Hint, check with the guide, why there is one grave outside the church, and there are 12 empty ones inside.... The house of Petar, just infront of the church, you can see some paintings of Karadhodje family, mainly from Aleksandar l and Marija, as well some personal items from that time. This is the second site seeing to be seen after the church of Gjorge. The third is the wine house at the gate of the complex, the house from outside looks very nice, but when I was there I was disappointed by the art paintings from a serbian painter. The fourth site seeing is the Karadjorge Konak, check this too, is the second best after the church. It can be good day off from Belgrade, you need 1 hour to get there by car, around 2 hours of the site seeing and plus for lunch for roasted pork and lamb, check 'pecenjara' type of restaurants, with fresh and tasty pork.

Beautiful place, sure worth to visit!

(Translated by Google) The Church of St. George in Oplenac is a memorial church and mausoleum of the Karadjordjevic dynasty, which was built on the hill Oplenac, which is located near Topola. The name of this hill comes from the oplena, the wooden parts of the ox-carts which were made of oak and cera with which this hill was covered. Topola has been an important town since the First Serbian Uprising. In 1804, Djordje Petrovic settled near this town in the village of Krcevac. Topla became the capital and center of state life of liberated Serbia. In the period between 1811 and 1813, a fortified city was built, surrounded by a moat with three-storey towers and ramparts for the immediate defense of Topola and military maneuvers. Inside the fortified city, there was a family and guest residence, as well as the church of the Most Holy Mother of God, better known as Karadjordj's church. The bell tower of the church was located in the southeastern tower of the fortress, and its three bells cast in the poplar in the Lower Town of the Belgrade Fortress were the first bells to be rung in free Serbia. However, with the collapse of the First Serbian Uprising and the return of the Turkish army, Karadjordjev's town was destroyed and set on fire. With the rise of Prince Miloš and the execution of Karađorđe, Topola, understandably, lost its original significance. This region will experience a new bright moment with the rise of Karadjordj's son, Prince Alexander, who with special care restored his father's vineyards and orchards on the eastern slopes of Oplenac, building a spacious house and a wine cellar. This mausoleum was built by King Peter I Karadjordjevic. Today, the complex includes the church of St. George, the mausoleum of the Serbian royal family, the king's vineyards and wool factory, the Vinogradar's house, the house of King Peter and Karadjordjev konak. The construction of the Church of St. George began with the construction in 1910 according to the plans of Kosta Jovanović. During the Austro-Hungarian occupation, in 1915, the church was looted. The copper cover from the domes and roofs was removed and taken away, as well as the copper decorative formwork from the portal. Also, the lightning rod and bells disappeared. Many windows, marble columns and ornaments were broken. Under the pretext that an important archive could be stored there, the occupiers desecrated the graves in the crypt. The church was consecrated in 1930 by Patriarch Varnava. Worship was performed in it in 1947. (Original) Црква Светог Ђорђа на Опленцу је спомен-црква и маузолеј династије Карађорђевић који је подгнут на брду Опленац које се налази близу Тополе. Назив овог брда потиче од оплена, дрвених делова воловских кола која су се правила од храста и цера којима је ово брдо било покривено. Топола је важана варош од Првог српског устанка. Ђорђе Петровић се 1804. године настанио у близини ове вароши у селу Крћевац. Топла је постала престоница и центар државног живота ослобођене Србије. У периоду између 1811. и 1813. године сазидан је утврђени град опасан шанцем са троспратним кулама и бедемима за непосредну одбрану Тополе и војне маневре. Унутар утврђеног града налазили су се породични и гостински конак, као и црква Пресвете Богородице познатија од именом Карађорђева црква. Звоник цркве био је смештен у југоисточној кули тврђаве, а њена три звона изливена у тополовиници у Доњем граду Београдске тврђаве била су прва звона која су се огласила у слободној Србији. Међутим, сломом Првог српског устанка и повратком турске војске, срушен је и запаљен Карађорђев град. Успоном кнеза Милоша и смакнућем Карађорђа, Топола је, разумљиво, изгубила свој првобитни значај. Нови блистави тренутак овај крај ће доживети успоном Карађорђевог сина, кнеза Александра, који је с посебном пажњом обновио очеве винограде и воћњаке на источним падинама Опленца подигавши себи пространу кућу и вински подрум. Овај маузолеј је подигао краљ Петар 1 Карађорђевић. Данас, комплекс обухвата цркву Светог Ђорђа, маузолоја српске краљевске породице, краљеве винограде и вунарију, Виноградареву кућу, кућу краља Петра и Карађорђев конак. Градња Цркве Светог Ђорђа је почела са градњом 1910. године према плановима Косте Јовановића. При аутроугарској окупацији, 1915. године црква је била опљачкана. Скинут је и однет бакарни покривач са кубета и кровова као и бакарна украсна оплата са портала. Такође, громобран и звона су нестала. Полупани су многи прозори, мермерни стубићи и орнаменти. Под изговором да ту може бити склоњена важна архива, окупатори су оскрнавили гробове у крипти. Црква је освештана 1930. године од стране патријарха варнаве. У њој је обављено богослужење 1947. године.

I must admit that the Church of Holy Martyr George is the most beautiful church in Serbia. From the inside, walls are covered in mosaics consisting of 40,000,000 glass pieces in 15,000 different color shades. It literally makes people speechless at the moment they reach doorstep. As a part of a Royal Complex, this is one of a unique attractions in Serbia, besides other cultural locations in Topola.

Mausoleum-church of the Karadjordjevich royal dynasty of Serbia with a crypt, it is known for its' white marble facades and the interior decoration consisting of 725 mosaic compositions that copy original medieval works of art from 60 serbian monasteries and churches. A famous portable masterpiece of the church is a mother-of-pearl icon depicting the Last Supper (Ultima Cena) by Da Vinci. The item was handcrafted in Beit Sahour, near Bethlehem, and was offered to King Alexander I in 1924 by the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Damian I, when the later visited Belgrade. The mausoleum-church was built between 1910-1930 according to the plans of architect Konstantin J. Jovanovic. It was founded by King Peter I (1844-1921), grandson of the ruler who started the Karadjordjevich dynasty (Djordje Petrovic Karadjordje, 1762-1817).

nas ponos, nasa proslost...

Awesome place,especially at night. Great history and tradition,beautiful nature and also romantic...Have a great time🙂

Church mausoleum where members of Royal family are buried. Beautiful inside paintings, actually mosaics. Entrance fee for church, King Peter's house (museum) and Karađorđe's house is 500 RSD.

Modern Serbian state was founded by two dynasties - the Obrenović's and Karađorđević's. The latter one's historical seat is Topola, where King Peter I of Serbia built mausoleum church for his family. All Serbian rulers coming from Karađorđević dynasty are burried in church. The church of the Holy Martyr George is remarkable with its mosaic frescoes and spectacular crypt. The frescoes are replicas of the most famous ones from various Serbian Medieval monasteries. The color specter includes more than 15,000 various nuances. Worth seeing and spending an afternoon at this historical place.

Very nice place. Amazing park, Church and Museums. For 500 dinars you can visit the church, Karadjordje family toomb, Karadjordje residence which is next to the Church and his House which is around 1km away.
