ÉGLISE SAINT-JOSEPH DE PALE

While Pale has several Serbian Orthodox churches, the most elegant place of worship here is this Catholic church (Crkva Svetog Josipa/Црква Светог Јосифа). Built of wood in the Tyrolean style, however, it takes the bulbous bell tower of the local Serbian churches. It was erected in 1911 for the Austro-Hungarian elite. It later became the parish church of the Catholic community of the Romanija plateau, Aromanian lumberjacks and shepherds who are now assimilated to the Bosnian-Croats.
