biserica Rastoci

Good years follow the terrible drought from 1816. People of Rastoci prayed God to keep them far from other unhappy events and decided to build a new church. To realize this dream has token many and big sacrifices.

 

From interior writing of the altar, up to the imperial doors, we find out that the church has been done in a single year, May 1827 - May 1828.

 

The interior church beauties have an inestimable artistic value, both as sculpted wood and painted icons. They were created by the artist Lazar Tocaci from Pirosa.

 

The writing let us to know that everything was finished at 5th September 1833.

 

It is a real alive church as it is still open for people every day.
