The Reformed church of Feketi\u0107 (B\u00e1csfeketehegy) is the central building of the largest Hungarian Reformed congregation in Vojvodina and the episcopal seat of the Reformed Christian Church in Serbia. The village was settled in 1785 by Hungarian Reformed families from Kunhegyes and Tiszabura, and the church still standing today was built on the main square in 1802.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feketehegy is first mentioned in 1466 as an estate of the Mar\u00f3ti family, but it was depopulated in Ottoman times and in the 18th century was a deserted plain of the crown estate of Kula. By a decree of 25 November 1784 Joseph II allowed poor Reformed families leaving Kunhegyes and Tiszabura in the Nagykuns\u00e1g to found a new village here; the first entry in the parish register is dated 29 May 1785. The settlers put up a temporary adobe prayer house, built a parsonage the following year and completed the present church in 1802. From the 1820s Germans moved in from neighbouring Seki\u0107 (Szeghegy), soon making up a third of the population and building their own Lutheran church next to the Reformed one.<\/p>\n

The most tragic episode in the congregation's history is the \"flight of St Mary's Day\" on 23 January 1849: after the withdrawal of the Hungarian troops the inhabitants fled from the Serbian insurgents as far as Kiskunhalas and Soltvadkert, the national guardsmen who stayed behind were killed, and the village pastor, J\u00f3zsef Berhidai Keresztes, died a martyr's death. The people returned to the burnt-out village only after the surrender and rebuilt their homes. The congregational house in front of the church was built in 1877.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The church, with its fa\u00e7ade tower and late Baroque\u2013Neoclassical features, has a spacious, light interior dominated by the galleries and the organ standing on one of them. After the Treaty of Trianon the Reformed communities of the region organised themselves into an independent church, and the leading role was played by a native of the village, the pastor S\u00e1ndor \u00c1goston (1882\u20131960), who became bishop of the Reformed Christian Church in Yugoslavia. With short interruptions Feketi\u0107 has been an episcopal seat since 1933 and remains the centre of the Reformed Church in Serbia; the congregation has about 2,300 members. The village is also a centre of Hungarian cultural life in Vojvodina, and the church hosts church and cultural events.<\/p>\n

Visiting:<\/strong> the church stands in the centre of Feketi\u0107 at 26 Bratstva Street and, together with the neighbouring former German Lutheran church, forms the village's characteristic skyline. Feketi\u0107 lies 20 km south of Ba\u010dka Topola, next to Mali I\u0111o\u0161, near the Novi Sad\u2013Subotica main road. The church is open at service times; at other times ask at the pastor's office.<\/p>\n
