Romanians
settled en masse in the village of Grebenac as of the second half of the
18th c. However, judging by all indications, the temple was built in the
first half of the century while the inhabitants of the village were still
mostly Serbs. It is a rectangular structure with shallow choirs, a wooden
semicircular- headed barrel vault rendered in mortar and a shallow open
porch on the western side over which a Baroque-style gable wall with a
bell tower was built. The church was reconstructed on a number of occasions
but even though it changed its face with time it has retained a number
of interesting archaic features characteristic of
older sacral architecture of the Vojvodina plain, like simple proportions
and a low wooden mortar rendered vault. Only several such places of worship
have been preserved in Banat. In the walls or next to the church have been
built or erected gravestone markers, the remnants of an old cemetery. The
carving of the iconostasis and the thrones features single-pattern
ornamentation of the Baroque classicist style. The author of the
icons on the iconostasis is not known. They were all painted over
in 1936 including those on the archbishop's throne and the throne of the
Holy Virgin, where the year 1811 remained inscribed, which is also the
date attributed to the iconostasis. Three important icons from the 18th
c. have also been preserved: one in the icon painting manner of the Holy
Trinity and two of a Baroque expression, of the Holy Virgin and of the
Holy Archangel Gabriel. All three were conserved and restored in 1976.
