The Church of the Holy Great Martyr Panteleimon is a temple of the Serbian Orthodox Church located in Han Pijesak in the Republic of Srpska. It belongs to the diocese of Zvornik-Tuzla, the seat of the parish. It is dedicated to Saint Panteleimon. The original church in Han Pijesak was built in 1923, and was sponsored by King Alexander I Karadjordjevic, who often stayed at his residence in Han Pijesak. This temple was located not far from today's, near the monument and memorial ossuary to the fallen fighters from the Second World War. The old temple was bombed and destroyed by Ustashas in 1942. Only three bells have been preserved from the former temple, one bell is a gift from King Aleksandar Karađorđević. On that occasion, all archives were burned. Construction of the new single-nave temple began in 1972. The foundations of the new church were consecrated by the Bishop of Zvornik-Tuzla Longin. The temple is built of whitewash, measuring 17.99 x 12.72 m, and is covered with copper. The construction of the church was completed in 1979 ....
