The monastic establishment was founded in 1770, constructed by wood and destroyed by
Turks in 1777; it was remake in 1790 and destroyed by fire in 1832.
The actual church was constructed in 1835 by two brothers
from Transilvania (Father Damaschin and Justin Barsan of
Salistea Sibiului, coming from Caldarusani monastery), on a
piece of land that had been donated by Mihai Ghica, the
highest magistrate at the princely court of the time. |
