The Church of the Presentation of the Theotokos (Serbian: Црква ваведења пресвете Богородице) is a Serbian Orthodox church in Inđija, Vojvodina, Serbia. The building was constructed between 1754 and 1755.[1] It is a single-nave building with modest dimensions, built in the style of the medieval Raška architectural school.[1] The interior of the church was painted by Jovan Štajner, a painter from Sombor, in the late 19th century.[2] Štajner also gilded the carvings of the iconostasis and restored the icons.[2]
