Mănăstirea Sfinții Trei Ierarhi, Northeast Romania, Romania

4.5 (213 reviews) Thursday: 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM Spent Ranking #3 in Northeast Romania Churches & Cathedrals

Beautiful Church, Fascinating Faithful

We accidentally got in the queue of the people waiting to worship in the Monastirea, while we thought we were simply waiting to get inside. This turned out to be a good accident on our part. We ended up in a trail of stations, where the attendees were worshiping in different locations, crossing themselves, going to the floor, kissing icon, writing prayers for the priests to read. With all respect and reverence it was extremely interesting. We felt we had an inside view.

Resting place of Alexandru Ioan Cuza ...
Built it the early 1600's - 1639 was finished it is a very interesting architectural piece and one of the holiest of places amongst the churches of Romania. It is built as mixture of architectural styles - there a gothic elements, Moldavian architectural elements, Arab/Moorish elements are also to be found in the mix and for those of you who've been to Dragomirna the stone masonry resembles a lot to the one of the Dragomirna monastery. Visiting is free of charge and it was open in the Monday morning when we were there - the museum in the courtyard was obviously closed. Inside the church the frescoes are beautiful, slightly smoked by the burning of candles and it was not that crowded as I would have expected. The center piece is the Ostridge egg chandelier , but for me "le piece de resistance" was stopping at the tomb stone of King Alexandru Ioan Cuza - the first king of the united Moldavia and Walachia who was forced to abdicate the throne in feb 1866 and was exiled - died far from Romania in Heidelberg and his remains were reburied in Iasi in 1946 ... where his final resting place is to be found since. Interesting place a lot of history - but remember it is also a place of worship so dress appropriately and try to not disturb those praying inside. Overall when in Iasi , it does worth a visit.
