This representative 18th-century building is one of the rare structures in our country, if not the only one, that has survived for more than two centuries without its original appearance or purpose being altered. The pharmacy in Vršac, named “At the Savior’s”, was renowned beyond the borders of the then Austro-Hungarian Vojvodina, particularly for its women’s cosmetic line, “Doctor Philipon,” created by its penultimate owner, Bela Kihler.
