The Church of the Transfer of the Relics of the Holy Father Nicholas (Serbian Cyrillic: Црква преноса моштију светог оца Николаја, Hungarian: Szent Miklós Görögkeleti Plébániatemplom) is a Serbian Orthodox church in Baja in Hungary. The church is located in the central part of the old town of Baja with Serb community institutions in the nearby building.[2] The church is the oldest out of three Serbian Orthodox churches in the town, two of which survived until today.[3] The iconostasis was built by the Markoviny brothers in the 18th century.[3] The paintings of the iconostasis were done by a Belgrade icon painter Arszenije Teodorovity in 1792.[3]
