Borzești Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Borzești, Romania
The church features river stone and brick construction with four spherical domes supported by Moldavian arches and decorated with glazed ceramics.
Built between 1493 and 1494 by order of Stephen the Great and his son Alexandru, the church commemorates a childhood friend lost during Tatar invasions.
The church walls display religious murals that demonstrate the intersection of Moldavian, Gothic, and Byzantine artistic traditions from the 15th century.
Visitors can reach the church through the city of Onești in Bacău County, with access via major roadways connecting to Romanian transport networks.
The building stands on the location of an ancient oak tree, marking the exact spot where Stephen the Great's childhood friend met his end.
