Princely Church of Saint Nicholas

The Saint Nicholas Princely Church features a trefoil plan with large arches, a single spire, and exterior walls adorned with colored terra-cotta discs and decorated recesses.

Stephen the Great established this church after the Battle of Cătlăbuga in 1485, with construction completed between 1491 and 1493 according to historical records.

The church interior contains frescoes depicting scenes from both Old and New Testaments, representing the ecclesiastical art traditions of medieval Moldavia.

Located at 65 Anastasie Panu Street, the church functions as a chapel of Trei Ierarhi and remains open for religious services and visiting throughout the year.

In the late 17th century, Metropolitan Dosoftei operated a printing press at the church, producing significant religious texts including Lives of the Saints.
