About
In the locality of Cârligi is the parish church, a former Greek monastery, built in 1827. Tradition says that Stephen the Great would have built a wooden church on these places, between the years 1457-1459, which was always renovated, but chances are very slim.
The church is built out of stone and brick on an area of 300 square meters. The roof is made of galvanized sheet. The construction is like those places of worship that can also serve as a means of defense if necessary, the church from Cârligi shows striking similarities with the one from the "Palatul Cnejilor", having a cross-shaped plan and a bell tower attached to the W side, like churches from the 17th century. As in Şerbeşti, the lateral apses are marked on the outside by rectangular reliefs, while the apse of the altar has a semicircular shape. The bell tower is located above the porch, which is covered with a spherical cap and has a crenellated opening to the S that betrays (as in the "Palatul Cnejilor") some defensive features of the construction.
At the entrance to the church, more precisely in the pronaos, the son of the Costache Rosetti nobleman, Ioan Cantacuzino, who died on November 17, 1830, is buried. We find some mentions about the fact that the place of worship was restored by the nobleman Ion Cantacuzino, whose tomb is inside the church.
