Tourist attraction Orthodox church

👍👍 The miracle-working icon of the Mother of God and the Holy Relics of several Saints, Saint Nicholas and Saint Nectaria, Saint John the Russian are just some of the reasons to take your steps in this small architectural gem with paintings that speak....

    Lovely peaceful church moved on rail from its original place to make space for the construction of the massive Palace of Parliament. Luckily survived as it is a wonderful building! I found many locals there, and no tourists at all :) so I could enjoy my visit.

    The miracle-working icon of the Mother of God and the Holy Relics of several Saints, Saint Nicholas and Saint Nectaria, Saint John the Russian are just some of the reasons to take your steps in this small architectural gem with paintings that speak.... If you wish the help and support of the Mother of God and the Saints, if you want relief from suffering, come and ask her to intercede with God for you. Through them, the Good Shepherd will hear your prayer!

    Built in 1591 by Michael the Brave, moved in 1985 to save it from the communist urbanization plan, St Michael Church stands as witness of Bucarest's history and architecture

    Founded by the ruling prince Michael the Brave in 1591. It owes its current appearance to the 1928-1935 restoration.

    Small church quite hidden from view but the history of this will move you. Our walking tour guide said that this church was one of many that was moved from its original location just so the Palace of the Parliament can be built at where it is now. There is also something unique in this church that isn't found in other churches, something that shouldn't be there. What could be it? Our tour guide told us. 😊

    This is an unique place, from many points of view, you will need a local guide to get the information. My advise is to Google the name of the place and look on the images, you will be surprised.

  • 5/5 Razvan C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Short history: In order to make room for the symbol of communism in Romania (People's House) but also to thank the protesters, the decision-makers of the regime reached a compromise, namely moving the church from the hill on which it was founded by Mihai Viteazul. The slope translation of the church over a distance of 289 m and lowered vertically by 6.2 took place in 1985. The operation itself of translating the building on Dealul Mihai Vodă, the former street of Archives no.2 and to the place where is still today, Strada Sapienței no.4, near the shore of Dâmbovița, was considered at that time a special performance. (Original) Scurt istoric: Pentru a face loc simbolului comunismului din România( Casa Poporului ) dar și pentru a-i mulțumi pe protestatari, persoanele de decizie ale regimului au ajuns la un compromis și anume mutarea bisericii de pe dealul pe care a fost ctitorită de Mihai Viteazul. Translatarea în pantă a bisericii pe o distanță de 289 m și coborâtă pe verticală cu 6.2 m a avut loc în anul 1985. Operațiunea în sine de translatare a edificiului de pe Dealul Mihai Vodă, fosta stradă a Arhivelor nr.2 și până în locul în care se află și astăzi, Strada Sapienței nr.4, în apropierea malului Dâmboviței, a fost considerată la vremea respectivă o performanță deosebită.

  • 3/5 Paul C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful, but without anything out of the ordinary. Maybe only the paintings with Antonescu, and kings Ferdinand and Mihai, who don't know if they had their place there ... (Original) Frumoasa, insa fara nimic iesit din comun.Poate doar picturile cu Antonescu, si regii Ferdinand si Mihai, care nu stiu daca-si aveau locul acolo...

  • 4/5 corneliu vasile m. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) As it is in the pandemic, the priests do their duty through the service of the Holy Mass, and few parishioners go through the door, leave an akathist and a candle and leave. Unfortunately, you also find a few people on the street who, through a professional education, would be given a chance. (Original) Asa cum este în pandemie, preoții isi fac datoria prin slujba Sfintei Liturghii, iar putini enoriași trec pe la usa, lasa un acatist si o lumânare si pleaca. Din pacate mai găsești si cativa oameni ai străzii carora printr-o educare profesională li s-ar oferi o șansă.
