Having come in Sabac and become a nahiya duke, Jevrem Obradovic, as a man who tended to progress and development, perceived the decay of the old Serbian Orthodox Church. He decided to build a new church. Building of the church dedicated to Saint Petar and Pavle started in 1827 and finished in September 1830. The church was built in the most beautiful location in town, in the near centre. It is saved until today with minor changes and reconstructions due to demolition in the First World War. The church interior was originally painted by a Russian Andrej Bicenko. Pavle Simic made the artistically valuable iconostasis of the church in the period of 1853 to 1855. In the same period, Jovan Klajic did the church decoration. Iconostasis was damaged in bombing in 1914. Then, in the thirties of the twentieth centuries, some of its parts were replaced with the works of Stevan Calic, a painter from Sabac. Later on, paintings were also changed and supplemented.

In the churchyard of Sabac Orthodox Church, under the memory charnel house, there is a monument built in the honour of the casualties of Balkan Wars and the First World War. It was done by sculptor Dincic and shown in 1934. The monument testifies to coming generations about the suffering that Sabac, named ‘Serbian Verdun’ due to its martyrdom,   survived at the beginning of the twentieth century.
