Princely church of the Beheading of John the Baptist in Vaslui

The Princely Church of the Beheading of John the Baptist sits at 58 Stefan cel Mare Street, featuring traditional Moldavian architectural elements and decorative facades.

Stephen III of Moldavia established the original church in 1490 as part of his princely court, but after its collapse in 1818, Maria Cantacuzino rebuilt it in 1820.

The interior displays neoclassical Romanian paintings by Gheorghe Ioanide from 1894, along with a collection of liturgical objects from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors to explore its historical architecture and religious artifacts throughout the week.

The building represents the first in a series of town churches constructed under Stephen III, with the Subin family grave located near the premises.
