Saint Michael Wooden Orthodox Church in Târgu Mureș, Romanian Orthodox wooden church in Târgu Mureș, Romania

The Saint Michael Wooden Orthodox Church features a rectangular structure with a pentagonal apse, adorned with a shingle roof and dual-bulbed bell tower.

The construction of this Orthodox church began in 1793 after local authorities transferred the previous church to the Romanian Greek-Catholic community in 1761.

The interior displays late Transylvanian Baroque influences through its iconostasis, which presents canonical arrangements of religious figures and geometric decorations.

Located at 13 Mitropolit Andrei Șaguna Street in Târgu Mureș, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture.

Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu spent a night in the church bell tower during his journey to Blaj in 1866, later incorporating this experience into his poetry.

Location: Târgu Mureș

Address: Str. Șaguna Andrei, mitropolit 13, municipiul Târgu Mureș
