PĂTRĂUŢI
CHURCH. The
church was built for Stephen the Great in 1487. It is
dedicated to The Ascent of the Cross.
It is the oldest of Stephen's surviving
churches to have kept its original shape.
It was initially built as a nunnery
and was modeled on the HolyTrinity
Church in Siret with bare stone walls. It was
later painted on the outside, some of the frescoes are in reasonably
good condition and are currently being
restored. The clearest scenes are on the west end, which shows the unusual subject of Constantine
the Great's cavalcade. The only other known
example of this composition is
at Arbore. There are fine paintings inside the church as well, and the founder's portrait in the votive scene
is remarkably good.
