Today there is only Miletićeva school in the churchyard of Nikolajevska Church. During the last decade of the nineteenth century Molnar designed and built his lives' work, also the most valuable urban buildings from the end of the century: the City Hall (1893-1895) and the Catholic Church (1892-1895). Both buildings were built in ornate eclectic style; Townhouse in Neo-Renaissance and the Catholic Church in neo-Gothic style.
