Požarevac Church (Serbian Cyrillic: Пожаревачка црква, Hungarian: Pozsarevacska szerb ortodox templom), officially Church of St. Archangel Michael, in Szentendre is a Serbian Orthodox church in Hungary named after the town of Požarevac in Serbia. The church is one of a couple of Serbian Orthodox churches in the town and is a part of the Eparchy of Buda. The church was completed in 1759 and consecrated in 1763.[1] According to tradition, it was built next to the Bučina stream. The neighborhood around the church was also known as Požarevačka Mahala. The iconostasis of the Pozarevac Church is older than the present church since it was originally installed in the "old" Cathedral Church in 1742.[1] The church was damaged during a major flood in 1838 but was soon renovated. The latest renovation of the church took place in 2018.
