History

In 1865, the Orthodox Bishopric of Karánsebes was established. The new cathedral was built from 1996 to 2010. The monstrosity, which does not fit in with the town's image, is bizarrely out of place in the small square in front of the Roman Catholic church, and its style and dimensions are such that it is a bizarre, invasive attempt to suppress and change the traditional, westernised, Hungarian character of the town.
