Măzărache Church, Orthodox church on a hill in Chișinău, Moldova.
Located at the base of a water spring, Măzărache Church features stone walls and architectural elements representing traditional Moldovan ecclesiastical design from the medieval period.
Built in 1752 by nobleman Vasile Măzărache, this structure stands on the site of a former fortress that was destroyed during Ottoman conflicts in the 1600s.
The church maintains regular Eastern Orthodox services while representing the oldest surviving building within the current boundaries of Chișinău.
Visitors can reach the church through various transportation options and explore both the interior and the surrounding grounds within approximately one hour.
The water spring near the church foundation connects to the etymology of Chișinău's name, derived from 'chisla noua' meaning new spring.
