The 21 best churches in Chisinau

I've been coming here all my life, 30 years. There is a lot of power here. You can cleanse yourself if you come in.

Beautiful place in Chisinau The Nativity of Christ Cathedral in Chișinău is a jewel of classicist architecture dating back to 1836, a spiritual symbol of the city, and the most important Orthodox church in Moldova. Its monumental structure and beautiful interior create an admirable atmosphere, Entrance is free

Very nice ortodox church in the center of Chisinau. No dislikes. Like everything.

Built in 1836, it was the headquarters of the Moldovan Orthodox Church, but was bombed and badly damaged during the World War II. It was rebuilt in 1997 and restored in neo-classical style in Chisinau. The interior is decorated with beautiful frescoes.

Met two lovely Moldovans and we all went to church on Sunday was very special and met some lifetime friends. Go check the church out but be ready people are asking for money inside the church.

Beautiful Cathedral in the centre of Chisinau. Like most Cathedrals/Monasteries, it can be let down by tourists who gormlessly wander in, chattering, take a photo, then leave. It would be nice if there was a quiet area for visitors to pray/reflect in silence.

A wonderful place to relax,watch the kids playing and enjoying the life. Take your time to stay and enjoy an ice cream during the spring,summer or autumn. Calming atmosphere with beautiful people relaxing or passing by. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE IF YOU ARE IN THIS WONDERFUL LITTLE TOWN!

Understated but classy arch with a nice clock near the Cathedral and a pretty park. Worth a visit but not a special trip to see it. Combine with the foreamentioned places and check out the railway carriages on the other side of the boulevard to learn about the departed peoples, a very sad story in itself.

The Triumphal Arch in Chișinău is a cool landmark right in the city center. It’s got a classic look and stands out with its white stone and the clock on top. Nice spot to snap a few photos, and it’s close to other sights too. Worth a quick stop if you’re exploring the area.

It is the most visited place in the Chişinău, located in the center of the city. In every season you will see around different decorations related to holy and traditional holidays, markets, exhibitions and concerts sometimes.There is a pretty park around and many pigeons next to cathedral. The Arch is not as big as you expect to be like in the big cities, I consider very important to mention 😺

One of the most beautiful and valuable monuments in Chisinau. Best place to take photos and content!

A great monument and one you can easily get up close to and admire in all its detail. There isn’t any signage to explain the history, which is a shame, but there’s plenty of other sights nearby to make it worth wandering to. They attempt to light it nicely in the evenings but in an understated way which goes well with the rest of the city. It’s one of the key landmarks and a must see for anyone’s first visit to the city or wanting good photo opportunities.

The thing had seen the time ) It's a well-worn piece and needs plastering. But overall - fine lookin' piece of architecture 🏛️

Beautiful arch in Chișinău. Really enjoyed my visit. Stands as one of the entrance’s to a beautiful park. Love the clock. A must see when visiting the city.

A beautiful monastery with very unpleasant nuns. I wasn’t allowed to bring my wheelchair into the chapel because of the nuns, and had to crawl on my knees if I wanted to see the altar.

Nice place to visit. Entrance free Ciuflea Monastery – an Orthodox women's monastery in Chișinău, in the city center, on Ciuflea Street, in the jurisdiction of the Chișinău Eparchy of the Moldavian Orthodox Church.

Beautiful monastery in the outskirts of Chișinău. When I entered , the liturgy was almost over . The monastery itself is big and old . This is a nun monastery. Many don't speak romanian. You can stay here over night but you have to talk to priest Nicolae about it . Overall nice

I have never seen a such amazing orthodox monastery, with its beautiful light blue colour and its golden domes. Inside you can feel a sense of peace.

Second just to the cathedral in the central park

Ciuflea Monastery, situated close to the city center, is a historical gem. Despite its relatively grand size when viewed from the outside, the church itself is remarkably compact. The intricately adorned walls and ceilings, along with the impressive collection of furniture, sculptures, and paintings, are truly captivating, all meticulously preserved. Within the monastery, you'll discover a souvenir shop, offering an opportunity to select thoughtful gifts for your loved ones. The well-manicured garden adds to the charm, providing a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Well preserve monastery with active services. Don't take videos of photos inside because somebody's going to get a little angry. :)

I visited this church during a short stay in Chișinău and was warmly welcomed by the people there. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to attend a Mass, but the church itself is beautiful and offers a peaceful space for prayer and reflection.

The Roman-Catholic Cathedral in Chisinau is that kind of place that you must visit even you are not a Christian, or a beliver. :) In front of the church there is a statue of late Pope John Paul II sitting on a bench. A great place for a moment of peace. :) The interior of the church is bright and nicely painted. Check out the pictures!

A remarkable place to be visited. Mass in three languages as Russian, Romanian and Polish.

A beautiful small Catholic church! English mass is held on Saturday's at 5pm. The nuns sing beautifully. I love coming to mass here.

Very calm place to pray🙏🙏🙏

A very special place for me - my grandparents, great grandparents were married and baptised here. What a blessing to still have this beautiful place around!

Very calm place to pray. Holy mass in Romanian , Russian , English and Polish. English mass is held every Saturday at 5.pm

The priest was very nice to let us in. But this church did not look at all like churches in Armenia. None of the interesting stone work. Yet the inside was just as boring as every Armenian church. This should not be on the list of tourist attractions in the city. It's a place where people pray, with nothing a tourist would like to see. And it's not near other tourist attractions

Cool armenian church and a nice historical monument

A beautiful architectural monument with a very nice priest

Historic place, which would be interesting for everyone, not only Armenians

(Translated by Google) One of the oldest churches in Chisinau, built in 1804. Over its two-century history, its aspect has undergone some changes - for example, in 1872, the well-known architect Alexander Bernardazzi added an elegant portico. A little later, another floor is added to the main tower - it is its architecture, with notes of the Gothic style, that is visible from behind the nearby houses. However, some experts argue that the church has more ancient roots, and archaeological excavations carried out nearby have found various artifacts of past centuries - maybe in the future we will find new data on the relative history of this temple. In any case, today the Armenian Church is an important attraction, not least due to its beautiful architecture - it is probably one of the most 'monumental' buildings in the city. However, it is not so easy to find a church among the high-rise buildings of a modern city - you cannot do without maps. Among the surrounding high-rise buildings, the church, with its landscaped and landscaped courtyard, is something of an oasis. From a distance it seems small, but inside this sensation disappears - its size is impressive. In the courtyard there are old gravestones and memorial monuments of two tragedies of the Armenian people - 1915 and 1988. It feels like both the church and the area around it are being watched and looked after. Inside the temple, everything is modest, but beautiful, without signs of unnecessary luxury. It's worth noting that I was lucky enough to meet a polite church custodian who gave me a short tour. In general, if you are interested in Kmshinov’s antiquity, I advise you to visit the Armenian Church. (Original) Одна из старейших церквей Кишинева, построенная в 1804 году. За двухсолетнюю историю её аспект притерпел некоторые изменения - например, в 1872 году, небезызвестным архитектором Александром Бернардацци был пристроен элегантный портик. Чуть позже, главной башне достраивают ещё один этаж - именно его архитектура, с нотками готического стиля, проглядявает из-за ближайших домов. Впрочем, некоторые специалисты утверждают, что церковь имеет более древние корни, а археологиякские раскопки проводиашиеся неподалёку нашли разнообразные артефакты прошлых веков - может, в будущем нас ждут новые данные относительного истории этого храма. В любом случае, сегодня Армянская Церковь явлвется важной достопримечательностью, чему не в последнюю очередь способствует её красивая архитектура - вероятно, это одно из самых 'монументальных' зданий в городе. Однако среди высоток современного города найти церковь не так то легко - без карт не обойтись. Посреди окружающих многоэтажек, церковь, с ее благоустроенным и озелененным двориком, является чем-то вроде оазиса. Сдалека она кажется небольшой, но внутри это ощущения пропадает - ёе размер внушительный. Во дворе находятся старые могильные плиты и мемориальные памятники двух трагедий армянского народа - 1915 и 1988 года. Чувствуется, что как за церковью, так и за территорией вокруг следят и ухаживают. Внутри храма всё скромно, но красиво, без признаков ненужной роскоши. Стоит отметить, что мне повезло встретить вежливого хранителя церкви, которая провела мне небольшую экскурсию. Вообщем, если вам интересна кмшиневская старина, я советую посетить Армянскую Церковь.

(Translated by Google) Christian church of the Armenian rite built at the beginning of the 19th century. Very simple but permeated by an atmosphere of peace, it calls the visitor to contemplation. Located near the center but very close to homes and offices. It is worth a visit for the historical importance of the Armenian rite. (Original) Chiesa cristiana di rito armeno costruita ad inizio 1800. Molto semplice ma permeata da un’atmosfera di pace, chiama il visitatore al raccoglimento. Sita vicino al centro ma vicinissima a case e uffici. Merita una visita per l’importanza storica del rito Armeno.

(Translated by Google) Architectural monument protected by the state. It differs a lot from the Orthodox Church, due to the lack of an iconostasis and fewer icons (Original) Monument de arhitectură ocrotit de stat. Se deosebește cu mult de Biserica ortodoxă, prin lipsa iconostasului si mai puține icoane

The full name of this cathedral is quite a mouthful, however, it seems apt having had the pleasure of visiting it. On a stunning day without a cloud in the sky the cathedral roof glinted spectacularly on our approach - it was a real eye-catcher but this was only the warm-up. Inside the Fresco's are absolutely stunning. The depictions are graphic, memorable and remarkable and worthy of praise. I have been to many places of worship around the world but none quite like this.

Really beautiful cathedral, some of the external paintings are really amazing and the design is very ornate.

More beautiful outside than inside, but of course worth waiting.

Beautiful church to visit if you are in the center

Nice church from outside and beautiful inside. I saw people from the church giving food to a homeless man.

👍

Beautiful

The former Republican Museum of Scientific Atheism was located in the building of former Girls Gymnasium Chapel, designed by Alexandru Bernardazzi and built in 1895. The Museum opened to the public in 1985 and exhibited documents, books, photographs, objects of religious cult, archaeological and ethnographic items, graphic and folk art pieces. The aim of the exhibitions was to combat religion by the means of so called "scientific atheism", a concept that appeared for the first time in the writings of K. Marx and F. Engels. As a part of the anti-religious propaganda campaign, texts by Cantemir and Eminescu were included.

An amazing church building!

Old and new all together, I went for a christening, to be honest it's a very popular church

Beautiful Byzantine style building

Ok

Beautiful place

Nice church

Be aware renovation happening 08.2019 but don't know how long and how long will continue. So inside just need to be aware. Beautiful inside out. I attended wedding there and was fabulous

One of the most beautiful buildings in Chisinau. Date of construction 1891. Architect A.Bernardazzi. Church is active still. There is Throne of Panteleimon the healer. The throne has healing power in my opinion. There are beautifull murals inside the Church. But it requiers restoration works.

Nice and small church , built in greek style.

Church sf. Pantelimon in center of Chisinau

Good orthodoxe church

Very Nice church.

Spectacular Byzantine architecture

Very nice historical place....But it's NOT a MUSEUM. They baptise kids there and also do weddings that's why you can't go inside and have a look. People don't understand that it's a historical place. Not just a church. It's better to put the fee at the entrance and stop doing other business to keep the historical value.

Beautiful, but not a museum, not many houses. The church is actively used.

This wooden church, dating back to 1642, is a real gem, being the oldest of its kind in the country and the sole preserver of medieval Moldovan architecture. After nearly a century of neglect, the church was carefully taken apart, restored, and transported beam by beam to Chisinau. Interestingly, 85% of the beams and 70% of the iconostasis are original. Nowadays, the church is bustling with activity, hosting baptisms and weddings. If you're lucky, you might witness one! There's also a small gift shop tucked away underneath. Just keep in mind, while it's a stunning church, it's not a museum or a village. You'll find a smaller church and a few other structures nearby, but unfortunately you won't be able to explore inside.

Authentic historical open air museum, reminds me of Pyrohove near Kyiv or Bunratti in Co. Limerick, Ireland. Yet, way smaller. One main church, plus a few more wooden buildings, also with some religious sense. I've spent quite nice time overall, mostly sitting on a swing bench and enjoying the last warm hours of the 2023 Fall.

While this is a beautiful church- it is NOT a museum! And it is NOT a village. The only place you can enter into is under the church where they have a gift shop and some orthodox icons and such. The church is run as business with back to back baptisms and weddings. There was no historical information or even a chance to see the inside of any of the buildings. There was another chapel behind the main one and a few other structures- but you could not go into any. Of course there is no entrance fee- because it is NOT A MUSEUM.

This place is a hidden gem from Chisinau. Better to visit when it’s a good weather. The near park is good for sunset shots and moon rise. This place have different name, some people call this place “Vosmiorka”. Near the lake there is church made from wood, one of the oldest in the town. This is also a good place for fishing

The main attraction of the Village Museum is the 17th century wooden church that was moved here from village Hârjauca. On weekends the church has a tight schedule of weddings. Moldovans love to show off during weddings and at this time I saw a few ceremonies with pigeons and lengthy photo sessions. In the end one photographer had to cut the shooting session because the batteries of his cameras were exhausted.

OK, so this is art space. I went there during weekday and very bad weather, the place was limited only to artists and staff. I wanted to see the exhibition, if they have one. So the only thing I enjoyed was staring at some 10 postcards available outside the building. I believe this place is popular among fashionista’s, artists, and trendy youth. There is a nice little café next to the exhibition.

Wow, wow, wow!!! What the beauty of a place I found in Chisinau for co-working. exquisite industrial design and a completely brand new building in the city center with completely furnished workspaces, meeting rooms, outside area and everything you need to work either a day or during your entire start-up lifetime strongly recommended Even the price might be higher compared to other locations, but it’s definitely worth it if you income and industry allows it. value added guaranteed. Still not convinced? Shall I mention in the height adjustable desktop with electric power train? ;)

Great place in the heart of Chisinau for creative artistic events, music concerts, art exhibitions, trainings, conferences and all kind of art perfomances. And of course the beautiful modern building of Artcor signed by talented moldavian architect Maxim Calujac. Love this place!

Brilliant! Food is good, place is great for live music, and they even have rehearsal spaces!

Nice art place for visiting art exhibitions, conferences, concerts. Near this place is situated very interesting cafe Catedra

Atrcor as a New art centre is a good refreshing addition in the Chisinau art scene. Good contemporary architectural concept with rough materials gives a modern look in the city's urban settings and represents a glimpse of a new trends for the future city developments. It was for me the highlight of my visit during the Moldovan Design Week 2019.

Wonderful place to visit in Chisinau. Next to Artcor is a coffee shop where you can have a coffee and enjoy the architecture. Not far away from the park and bus station “Teatrul de Opera și Balet” line 10, 22, 24, 8, 1.

Good place

Great place for all traditional events. Possible service in Russian as well.

Nice,nice

Ok

Nice church.

(Translated by Google) An old church, built in 1819. It has a modest appearance, but still represents the architectural dominant of the surrounding neighborhood. It seems somewhat remarkable to me that a building - such as this church - stands almost untouched for 200 years in such a changing city as Chisinau. I can add that next to the church there is a curious building from the 1950s with three floors and a small turret, a remnant of the Soviet period. (Original) O biserică veche, construită în 1819. Are un aspect modest, dar reprezintă totuşi dominanta arhitecturală a cartierului din jur. Mi se pare oarecum remarcabil faptul ca o clădire - precum biserica asta - stă aproape neştirbită timp de 200 de ani într-un oraş atât de schimbător cum e Chişinăul. Pot adăuga că lângă biserică se află o curioasă clădire din anii 1950' cu trei etaje şi un mic turnuleț, o rămăşiţă a perioadei sovietice.

(Translated by Google) The appearance of St. George's Church combines elements of classical style and Moldavian medieval architecture. The slender silhouette of the building is crowned by a bell tower and an octagonal light drum with a dome-helmet, and the clean surface of the high walls is decorated only with protrusions-pilasters. The temple was built in the oldest part of Chisinau in 1818 at the expense of the Bulgarians who migrated from Turkey. To collect donations, priest George and his assistant went to the Turkish Bulgarians, who returned from the trip with money, but alone. Father George died in Turkey “at the hands of a Muslim.” Construction took 4 years according to the design of Archimandrite Ioannikiy (in the world Ivan Shchapov). This merchant’s son, a self-taught artist and seminary teacher of arithmetic and drawing “was used in the field of architecture” in the construction of many church buildings. In 1829, a strong earthquake damaged the temple. Its restoration was carried out by the architect Ivan Speth, who personally supervised the repairs, since “the local craftsmen do not understand the drawings and are not able to carry out the work with complete accuracy.” Ivan Ivanovich Speth (Speeth Johann-Peter) (1772–1831) was born in the German city of Mannheim in the family of a musician, studied in Frankfurt am Main, where he built a large building on one of the central streets. In 1826 he came to Russia and was soon invited to the post of Bessarabian regional architect. Speth began to create a new, special style in the architecture of Bessarabia, but died suddenly without completing his planned projects. In 1916, Alexander Tarnorutsky (1888-1916) was buried in the church - the only priest in the history of the Bessarabian Church who was awarded many orders and a golden cross for military services. At the beginning of the First World War, the young Bessarabian priest Tarnorutsky was appointed priest of the Chernoyarsk regiment. The regimental priests did not take up arms, but inspired by personal example, helped doctors, and carried the dead and wounded from the battlefield. In October 1916, Tarnorutsky led soldiers into an attack and was mortally wounded by an explosive bullet that hit him in the chest. The body of the heroically deceased 28-year-old priest was transported by fellow soldiers to his homeland in Chisinau and buried with honors in St. George's Church. (Original) В облике Свято-Георгиевской церкви сочетаются элементы классического стиля и молдавского средневекового зодчества. Стройный силуэт здания венчают колокольня и восьмигранный световой барабан с куполом-шлемом, а чистую гладь высоких стен украшают лишь выступы-пилястры. Храм был построен в самой старой части Кишинева в 1818 г. на средства болгар, переселившихся из Турции. Для сбора пожертвований к турецким болгарам отправились священник Георгий с помощником, который из поездки вернулся с деньгами, но один. Отец Георгий погиб в Турции «от руки мусульманина». Строительство велось 4 года по проекту архимандрита Иоанникия (в миру Ивана Щапова) Этот купеческий сын, художник-самоучка и семинарский учитель арифметики и рисования «был употреблен по части архитектуры» при возведении многих церковных зданий. В 1829 г. сильное землетрясение повредило храм. Его восстановлением занимался архитектор Иван Спет, который лично осуществлял надзор за ремонтом, так как «здешние мастеровые чертежей не понимают и не в состоянии производить работу со всею точностью». Иван Иванович Спет (Speeth Iohann-Peter) (1772–1831) родился в немецком г. Мангейме в семье музыканта, учился во Франкфурте-на-Майне, где построил крупное здание на одной из центральных улиц. В 1826 г. он приехал в Россию и вскоре был приглашен на должность Бессарабского областного архитектора. Спет приступил к созданию нового, особенного стиля в архитектуре Бессарабии, но скоропостижно скончался, не завершив задуманные проекты. В 1916 г. в церкви был похоронен Александр Тарноруцкий (1888-1916) - единственный в истории Бессарабской церкви священник, награжденный за боевые заслуги множеством орденов и золотым крестом. В начале Первой мировой войны молодой бессарабский батюшка Тарноруцкий был назначен священником Черноярского полка. Полковые священники не брали в руки оружие, но вдохновляли личным примером, помогали врачам, выносили с поля боя убитых и раненных. В октябре 1916 г Тарноруцкий повел солдат в атаку и был смертельно ранен разрывной пулей, попавшей в грудь. Тело геройски погибшего 28-летнего батюшки однополчане перевезли на его родину в Кишинев и похоронили с почестями в Свято-Георгиевской церкви.

Thank you for your great hospitality We arrived at the chabad House after a long journey from Uman Ukraine They had hot soup fresh bread and hot and cold drinks We felt at home

A most wonderful small synagogue, and not to be missed if you are Jewish and nearby. I just happened to be in the neighborhood on a Friday and saw some activity inside this small synagogue. After a few words with the Rabbi, who convinced me to return for a Shabbat dinner, I went home, changed and returned. It was probably the most unexpected highlight of a trip to Moldova. The congregation was from all over the world, very welcoming and there was a dinner shortly thereafter. To this day, I maintain contact with several of the people whom I had met there.

Beautiful small shul. Two story with women's balcony above. Great Rabbi and Rebbitzin. Speak English and Ivrit (and Russian, Romanian, Yiddish...) Beautiful kosher Moldovan breakfast after davening, and can order delicious food for lunch and dinner.

Cute shul. Nice Aron and two story shul. Great Rabbi and Rebbitzin, very helpful. Ivrit, native English speaker, and of course Yiddish, Russian, Romanian. Great food, can order lunch dinner. Great free breakfast after shaharit

(Translated by Google) The Church of "Saint Hierarch Nicholas" in Chisinau is an architectural monument of national significance, located on Stefan cel Mare și Sfânt Boulevard. Built in 1901, the church initially served as a chapel of the city hospital. The main founder of the church was the paramedic Nicolae Ivanov, in whose memory the place of worship was named "Saint Hierarch Nicholas". The project was carried out by architect V. Țîganco, and the construction was completed in December 1901. Recently, the church passed from the Metropolitanate of Moldova to the Metropolitanate of Bessarabia.

Construită în 1901, biserica a servit inițial drept paraclis al spitalului orășenesc. Ctitorul principal al bisericii a fost felcerul Nicolae Ivanov, în memoria căruia lăcașul de cult a primit hramul „Sfântul Ierarh Nicolae”. Proiectul a fost realizat de arhitectul V. Țîganco, iar construcția a fost finalizată în decembrie 1901. Recent, biserica a trecut de la Mitropolia Moldovei la Mitropolia Basarabiei.

(Translated by Google) My parents got married in this church, they baptized me, I got married. The priests try very hard for the parishioners. The church is being restored all the time. The roof was recently done. So far there is not enough money for the restoration of internal facades, updating of frescoes and icons. They help people who are homeless. They provide food and housing, but only if the person is willing to work and help at the church. At Christmas, the priests themselves sang carols and gave gifts to the children.) (Original) В этой церкви венчалимь мои родители, крестили меня,я венчалась. Священники очень стараются для прихожан . Все время идёт реставрация церкви. Сделали недавно крышу. Пока денег не хватает на реставрацию внутренних фасадов ,обновление фресок и икон. Помогают людям,которые остались без жилья. Дают еду ,жильё, но если человек готов работать и помогать при церкви. На Рождество Сами священники пели колядки и раздавали детям 🎁 подарки.)

(Translated by Google) The church is a holy abode. People come to pray, turn to God with requests and words of gratitude. The clergy help with this. I thank them. But I do not agree that a fee has been established for services. People with different incomes come and can donate from the heart whenever possible. After all, you need to thank from the bottom of your heart. (Original) Церковь - святая обитель.Люди приходят помолиться, обратиться к Богу с просьбами и со словами благодарности. Священнослужители помогают в этом.Я благодарю их. Но не согласна, что установлена такса за услуги. Приходят люди с разным достатком и могут жертвовать от души по возможности. Ведь благодарить нужно от чистого сердца.

Nice place. Just be careful with the dog

(Translated by Google) It's the first time in my life such a negative experience, I hope it's the last! There are priests, parents, and there are popes, very arrogant, dirty vocabulary, ugly words, from nothing, you look amazed at what you heard and he still reproaches you for kicking you out of the church because you don't answer him back. The church belongs to the Lord and the Christians who make the sacrifice and dedicate themselves to the place, not to the people who feel at home. I left the church, I made the sign of the cross and in my mind I said "God forgive me, if I had any negative thoughts, and God forgive him that he doesn't even realize what he's doing". With regret after such "types" some people lose faith in the church, priests, and others maybe even more... (Original) Este pentru prima dată în viața așa experiență negativă, sper și ultima! Sunt preoți, părinți, și sunt popi, foarte arogant, murdar la vocabular, cuvinte urate, de la nimic, te uiți uimit de cele auzite și tot el reproșează ca te da afară din biserică pentru ca nu îi răspunzi înapoi. Biserica este a domnului și creștinilor care fac jertfa și se dedică lăcașului, nu a popului care se simte la el acasă. Am ieșit din biserica am făcut semnul crucii și în gând am zis “Doamne iartă-mă, dacă am avut vreun gând negativ, și Doamne iartă-l ca nici nu-și dă seama ce face”. Cu regret după așa “tipuri” unii oameni își pierd încrederea în biserică, preoți, și alții poate și mai mult…

(Translated by Google) An old place, one of the starting points of Chisinau, an ancient cemetery nearby, where honorary citizens of the past are buried. (Original) Cтарое место, одна из точек начала Кишинева, cтаринное кладбище рядом, где захоронены почетные горожане прошлого.

(Translated by Google) One of the oldest churches, one might say, the same age as the city. Small and cozy. The cemetery, originally located behind the Temple, has now been turned over for new construction. Only a few ancient graves remain. The tombstone (but not the grave) of Constantin Riscani, by whose will this church was built, has been preserved. (Original) Одна из старейших церквей, можно сказать, ровестница города. Небольшая и уютная. Кладбище, изначально расположенное позади Храма, сегодня передано под новое строительство. Остались лишь несколько старинных могил. Сохранено надгробие (но не могила) Константина Рышкану, по воле которого была построена эта церковь.

(Translated by Google) The church is a great location, but I think the biggest problem is the father of this church, who is a very arrogant, stubborn person, and has a pretty nasty behavior. We wanted to baptize our daughter in this church, but we refused because the father imposed his conditions for the baptism, namely the time of the baptism, and other moments. So in the end we went to another church where the priest supported our grievances, and by the way he didn't ask for so much money and gifts! (Original) Biserica reprezinta o locație super, insa cea mai mare problema cred ca reprezintă părintele acestei biserici, fiind o persoana foarte arogantă, incăpăținată, si are un comportament destul de urit. Noi am dorit sa facem botezul fiicei in această biserică, insa am refuzat din motivul că părintele impunea conditiile lui de desfasurare a botezului, si anume ora desfășurării, si alte momente. Deci pina la urma neam dus in altă biserică unde părintele a sustinut doleanțele noastre, si apropo nu a cerut asa de multi bani și daruri!

(Translated by Google) Inadequate Pop, doesn’t watch his language at all, insults, calls names, kicks you out of the church! He imposes his own rules..and SPEAKS VERY RUDE! They ruined the whole baptism celebration! (Original) Неадекватный Поп,вообще не следит за своим языком,оскорбляет ,обзывает,выгоняет из церки! Внушает свои правила..и ОЧЕНЬ ГРУБО РАЗГОВАРИВАЕТ! Испортили весь праздник крещения!

Beautiful Orthodox Church

(Translated by Google) A small, more chapel-like church, built on the border of the former Heroes' Cemetery, or, later, a tuberculosis dispensary. A place with a complex history, but the church seems to have been built quite recently. (Original) Маленькая, больше похожая на часовню церковь, построенная на границе бывшего кладбища Героев, или, позже, туберкулезного диспансера. Место со сложной историей, но церковь похоже, построена совсем недавно.

This church is very far from the center and it's really not a tourist destination, despite appearing on the Google "things to do in Chisinau" list. I walked all the way there only to be chased out by Russian women for not having long pants (no other church cared, and it was July)

We were there at 11 and everything was closed. It is a real shame that the oldest building was closed.

Doesn't worth at all.

Ok

Ok

nice

(Translated by Google) The oldest building in Chisinau, built in 1755. Mazarakievskaya Church is clearly visible from the street. Albisoara (where it is a kind of architectural dominant), however, getting to it from the Lower Center is quite difficult, because it is surrounded by multi-storey buildings, courtyards and parking lots. But luckily the locals showed me the way. The area inside is well-groomed and clean, including old tombstones. The church is in good condition. From a distance the building seems small, but up close this feeling disappears - on the contrary, it seemed to me that it seemed to tower over me. I couldn't get inside - I probably came too late. The church has belonged to the Old Believers since about the sixties, after their original temple was demolished. In the end, it is worth noting that the Mazaraki Church creates an interesting contrast with the surrounding Soviet-era concrete buildings - high-rise apartment buildings and the Moldovagaz building. I advise everyone who is interested in the history of the city to visit it - however, probably everyone could see it while driving through Albisoara. (Original) Старейшее здание Кишинева, построенное в 1755 году. Мазаракиевскую церковь хорошо видно с ул. Албишоары (где она является некой архитектурной доминантой), однако добраться до неё со стороны Нижнего Центра довольно трудно, ведь она окружена многоэтажном домами, дворами и парковками. Но благо местные жители показали мне путь. Внутри ухоженная и чистая территория, сохранены в том числе и старые надгробия. Церковь находится в хорошем состоянии. Сдалека здание видется маленьким, но вблизи это ощущение пропадает - наоборот, мне казалось, что оно как бы вызвышалось надо мной. Внутрь попасть не смог - вероятно, пришёл слишком поздно. Церковь принадлежит старообрядцам примерно с шестидесятых годов, после того как их изначальный храм был снесён. В конце стоит отметить что Мазаракиевская церковь создаёт любопытный контраст с окружающими её бетонными строяниями советской эпохи - высотными многоэтажками и зданием Молдовагаза. Советую её посетить всем, кому интересна история города - впрочем, наверное, каждый её мог видеть, проезжая по Албишоаре.

There's always room for better !

Expensive, uninspiring and useless.

Ok

Church

(Translated by Google) The church has no parking spaces for visitors, the architecture of the church is impressive, it is a spacious church. (Original) Biserica nu are locuri de parcare pentru vizitatori, arhitectura bisericii este una impresionată, este o biserică încăpătoare.

(Translated by Google) Servants of God who refuse confession to a bedridden patient, saying that it should have been done earlier! Shame and disgrace simply!!!!! It is not surprising that the new generation completely FORGETs about the church, with such mercantile and "advice" giving individuals, the church is not needed! Shame! (Original) Слуги Божьи, которые отказывают в исповеди лежачему больному, говоря что надо было раньше это сделать!Стыд и Срам просто!!!!!Не удивительно, что новое поколение вообще про церковь ЗАБЫВАЕТ, с такими меркантильными и дающими "советы" особами и церковь не нужна! Позор!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful . (Original) Красивая .

Very beautiful church

My favorite ortodox church in Moldova

Nice Church. God bless all Christians and all People in the World!

A very pleasant place to pray and talk with God.

Wonderful place

I feel this is a good place

Ok

(Translated by Google) I really like Father Maxim's ideologies. Thanks to him I returned to the spiritual world. I started to believe again that God exists. (Original) Imi place foarte mult ideologiile părintelui Maxim. Datorită lui am revenit în lumea duhovnicească. Am reînceput să cred că Dumnezeu există.

(Translated by Google) A holy place that I return to with love like home whenever I have the opportunity ❤ (Original) Lăcaș sfînt la care revin cu drag ca acasă ori de cîte ori am ocazia ❤
