In 1699, representatives of the Ottoman Empire and a coalition of European powers met in this small Danube-side town to sign the Treaty of Karlowitz, ending the Great Turkish War and redrawing the map of Central Europe, a negotiation held in a specially built round pavilion with four doors so no delegation would appear to enter before another.
Sremski Karlovci went on to become a centre of Serbian learning under Habsburg rule, home to the first Serbian grammar school, founded in 1791, and the oldest Serbian Orthodox seminary. Its wine cellars, meanwhile, kept alive the production of bermet, a spiced dessert wine once served at the Habsburg court and to the passengers of the Titanic, a claim locals repeat with evident pride.

A Centre of Serbian Learning
The first Serbian grammar school, founded in 1791, and the oldest Serbian Orthodox seminary both trace their roots to Sremski Karlovci under Habsburg rule.
Bermet Wine Cellars
Historic cellars in the town still produce bermet, a spiced dessert wine once served at the Habsburg court and, according to local tradition, aboard the Titanic.
