Barsana Monastery 1

In 1720, another church of wood was been built in Bârsana. In 1791, the Monastery was abolished. On the hearth Monastery, only the Church and Abbey remain.

 

To protect the church from desecration and destruction, the believers from Bârsana moved it closer to the village, in 1806. In this place it is found nowadays.

 

The old church of Bârsana has a particular cultural importance, being included in the UNESCO list of heritage buildings. This church is a valuable historical monument and it expects to be returned in the old place and reassigned to the current complex of the Monastery of Bârsana.
