Moon Church, Romanian Orthodox church in Unirii Square, Oradea, Romania
The Moon Church stands 55 meters tall with a bell tower and displays a combination of baroque architecture with neoclassical design elements.
Construction of the church began in 1784 following requests from two judges to serve Orthodox Romanians, Serbs, Aromanians, and Greeks in the area.
The interior features paintings by the Teodorovici brothers and Paul Murgu, following Byzantine architectural standards with a traditional Orthodox iconostasis.
The church welcomes visitors to explore its architectural details, religious art, and mechanical innovations throughout the week in central Oradea.
A mechanical sphere measuring one meter in diameter, installed in 1793 by Georg Rueppe, rotates every 28 days to display lunar phases.
