History

Lisičine village is one of many villages established in the course of 16th century around the Voćin fortification in order to provide soldiers to defend the border against the Ottoman invasion.

Culture

In 1748, a wooden Orthodox church of St. George, consecrated by the Bishop of Pakrac and Slavonia, Sofronije Jovanović, was built. A masonry church built in 1869 was damaged in the World War II while its liturgical items and books were all destroyed. The church was restored in 1990, only to be severely damaged in 1991 and its interior burned. The iconostasis was transferred to the treasury of the metropolitan court in Srijemski Karlovci to be restored and become a part of its permanent exhibition.
