Manastirea Moisei: Biserica mare (interior)
The Monastery, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, is situated on a sunny plateau, above the village of Moisei, surrounded by the hills, at the foot of Mount Pietrosu Rodnei (2303 m). The town of Moisei belonged to the domain of Bogdan, voivode of Maramureş, founder of independent Moldavia.
In the woods near Moisei, monks have been forced through the fifteenth century. In the sixteenth century a modest monstrosity emerged from which the Moses Monastery evolved, as things happened with many monasteries on the Romanian soil. In 1599, the monks here raised the old church, which is still preserved.
The old church, built in 1599 and consecrated in 1672 by St. Jerah Sava Brancovici, was restored in 2011 and is currently working on the restoration project of the interior painting.
The great church was built in 1911 by the Greek-Catholic Bishopric of Cluj-Gherla. It was repainted in 1982 and resigned in 1986 by the High Priest Teofil Herineanu.
The entrance gate and the stone wall that surrounds the premises were built in 2008-2011.
The summer altar, built in the style of Maramureş, serves for service to the rulers, when the monastery courtyard becomes inadequate for tens of thousands of believers.
