The cathedral was built between 1773 and 1779 in the
baroque style. At the time, Subotica was part of the
Habsburg monarchy. The building was designed by architect
Franz Kaufmann from
Pest. The altar is decorated with several paintings by
Josef Schoefft, one painting of the
Holy Family by

Monument of Culture of Great Importance in 1973. ==See also==
