The Church of St. Nicholas (Romanian: Biserica ortodoxă română „Sfântul Nicolae” din Râtișor, Serbian: Црква светог Николе) in Ritiševo (Râtișor) is a Romanian Orthodox church in Vojvodina, Serbia, dedicated to Saint Nicholas.
The church was first mentioned in 1763 but was damaged during the Austro-Turkish War in 1788. It was rebuilt in 1796-97, retaining the typical form of Banat churches from the Ottoman period, with a wooden vault and a striking Baroque western façade with a small tower.[1]
