The Church of the Holy Archangel Gabriel (Serbian: Црква светог арханђела Гаврила) in Bočar is Serbian Orthodox church in Vojvodina, Serbia. The church was built in 1814.[1] The building is erected at a low and most probably natural elevation.[3] The church features a single-nave design with a five-sided altar apse, an extended nave, and a two-level bell tower positioned above the western entrance.[3] The iconostasis dates to the second half of the 18th century.[3] The exact date of its creation and the names of its authors are unknown.[3] Records indicate that it was originally part of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Vranjevo and was acquired as an older piece in 1826 before being relocated to Bočar.[3]
