Eparchy of Gornji Karlovac

The Eparchy of Lika, Krbava, and Zrinopolje was established in 1695 by the Metropolitan Atanasije Ljubojević and certified by Emperor Joseph I in 1707. This eparchy (from the 19th century known as the Eparchy of Upper Karlovac) was the ecclesiastical centre of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the region. The eparchy was under jurisdiction of the Metropolitan of Dabar and Bosnia, directly under the restored Serbian Patriarchate of Peć and after 1766 under the new Serbian Metropolitanate of Karlovci, comprising Lika, Banovina and Kordun. In 1993 the Saint Nicholas Cathedral Cathedral and the bishop's residence were destroyed by Croatian forces during the Croatian War of Independence. ==List of bishops==
