Nativity Church

The Nativity Church features traditional Eastern Orthodox design elements, with white exterior walls and a structure positioned below ground level.

Built in the 17th century, this religious building replaced a wooden church and later served the Greek community of Braila in the 18th century.

The interior walls display the only remaining medieval frescoes in Moldova, painted by Walachian artists in late Byzantine-Romanian style with red and gold colors.

Religious ceremonies and community gatherings take place regularly in the church, which maintains its role as an active center of worship.

During the period from 1944 to 1966, the Soviet authorities transformed this religious structure into an apple cannery, causing substantial damage to the building.
