    Die älteste Kirche in Bukarest ist definitiv einen Besuch wert! Einfach nur wunderschön! Vergesst nicht einen Wunschzettel auszufüllen (liegen links beim Eingang auf einem kleinen Tisch) und werft ihn dann in den kleinen Holzkasten (ebenfalls links ca. 2 Meter weiter). Der Priester liest diese Zettel 90 Tage lang laut vor und danach sollen sich deine Wünsche erfüllen :-)). Nach dem Einwerfen sollt ihr zudem die heiligen Insignien (vor dem Altar rechts- Knochenstück und kleinen silbernen "Sarg") berühren, damit sich die Wünsche erfüllen. Der Priester spricht fließend deutsch. Im Garten sind viele Katzen, die dort wohl auch gefüttert werden. (Gerne Katzenfutterschälchen mitnehmen und dem Priester geben). Im Hof ist ein Zugang zum "Keller", in dem heilige Souvenirs verkauft werden. Habe dort eine ca. 1 Meter große reine Bienenwachskerze für umgerechnet ca. 16 € gekauft. Ein wahrhaft 'heiliger" Ort.

    Nice church in the historical center of Bucharest. Boarding one of the better-preserved “caravanserail” of the town.

    I am not sure how to rate a church... the experience is very individual. But this is a historic church in Old Town Bucharest. Beautiful architecture. Monks are chanting below ground. The history is evident all around. Be respectful... people here are praying

    Beautiful church. There's some building happening nearby, I believe it's expanding.

    Old Court Church is the oldest church in Bucharest, founded by Mircea Ciobanul, during his first reign, between 1545-1554. The building served for two centuries as a place of coronation of the lords of Wallachia. The church is dedicated to the Annunciation and St. Anthony.

    Wonderful orthodox church with great icons in side it. You can attend the holy mass at Sunday. Small gift shop oppisy the church at the basement. It doesn't need any tickets or waiting time.

    A place to collect yourself. The church is an historical monument, the paintings inside and the whole arhitectural structure is worth seeing.

    In the center of the capital, take some minutes to find peace and relax the mind in a really special place.

    Magnificent church, which is the oldest church in Bucharest, it is also the only one of four churches that initially existed within Curtea Veche, the court of the Princes of Wallachia; many princes of the 16th through 18th centuries prayed there or were anointed to their office. The real name is Curtea Veche Church, which is dedicated to Saint Anthony the Great. Not giving 5* as the place is full of weird people trying to talk to you with the idea to give them money. So be cautious.

    Beautiful church with a peaceful courtyard and lovely architecture. A peaceful place in central Bucharest. We spent some time exploring the courtyard and the area whilst playing Questo, a mobile app with clues, offering insight into the history of Bucharest while taking us on a beautiful route with scenic sights. We admired the old and new architecture present in the Old City Centre and spent a relaxing Friday afternoon enjoying the weather.

    People expect something from God. More and more people need help. Those who are supposed to help us on earth have forgotten so we pray more.

    Beautiful little church we stopped at before dinner, which is still in use. The night we went I'm not sure if there was a special event, but lines were out the door and it was packed inside. Worth it to stop by and check out the interior.

    Beautiful place. Very relaxing yard with enough benches for old people to stay. Makes you feel relaxed and peaceful, even though you are in the most crowded zone of Bucharest, old town.

    Extremely stunning religious building and it’s just next to Old Town so it’s very easy to navigate.
