**★★★★★ L.Robert1991 — a month ago
My favorite of all the churches in Bucharest. Quaint and beautiful. The doors are stunning works of art.

One of the most beautiful monasteries in Bucharest. Brancoveanu style church, with beautiful stone carvings, an impressively detailed carved entrance door and interior frescoes. Beautiful chapel, well-kept courtyard and wonderful tranquility. What's unique is that during communism it was moved about 20 m further back, on metal rails, to make room for Ceaușescu's apartment blocks. That's how it escaped of demolition.
**★★★★★ Георгий Титов — 6 years ago
It may seem as if you (a tourist) are not welcomed here; the whole place really looks completely authentic and unspoilt with tourists, but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't get inside. I hope you don't miss this gem of truly old Bucharest.
**★★★★☆ Paresh Shah — 5 months ago
An Orthodox church from 1716.
**★★★★☆ Arndt Mielisch — a year ago
Historic miniature monastery not far from the People‘s Palace, but well hidden by panel buildings from the late communist era. Quite a gem.
