Ruthenian Court, Šid
The Ruthenian Court (Serbo-Croatian: Руски двор, Ruski dvor, Rusyn: Руски двор) in Šid in Vojvodina, Serbia is a representative building constructed as a summer residence for the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Križevci. The name of the building is sometimes mistranslated as a Russian Palace due to the archaic homonyms used for the possessive adjectives related to the local Pannonian Rusyns (predominantly Greek Catholic community) and ethnic Russians.
Background
The building was completed in 1780 and granted to the eparchy by the royal decree of Maria Theresa. It was protected as a cultural heritage building in 1967 and received the designation Immovable Cultural Heritage of Great Importance in 1991.
A female monastery was opened in the building in the 1930s, and during World War II in Yugoslavia, it served as a hospital for Yugoslav Partisans, which had a stronghold on the nearby Fruška Gora.
