The construction of the new Orthodox Church (today’s Orthodox Cathedral, which was originally dedicated to Saint Stefan, and only recently rededicated to the town’s patron saint, Saint Martyr Demetrius) commenced in 1791, and the church was completed and consecrated in 1794. The church was built from the donations of the Orthodox congregation itself. The interior decoration of the church and procurement of the required inventory was carried out in the first decades of the XIX century. Woodcarving ornaments were made by Marko Vujatović, woodcarver from Sremski Karlovci, in 1810. Only a few years later, Arsa Teodorović, the most prominent master of that period, painted all the icons for the iconostasis. Especially noteworthy was the icon of Saint Irinej and the scene of his execution. At the end of the XIX century, the interior decoration of the church was considerably damaged in a fire, and all the renovations that were carried out were not able to restore the original sheen of the icons.

In time the church underwent multiple renovations, façade repairs, renewal of the copper covering on its baroque bell tower, and restoration of the icons as well. The church has preserved its original appearance to this day, and the area in front of the church was designed as a town square - Saint Stefan Square. On the occasion of celebrating the bicentennial of the church, the bell tower was covered with a new copper coating, the façade was repaired, and the icons and movable inventory were restored.
