"Barbu Belu" Schit, Com. Gostinari - Old church (Gostinari)

 cemetery, interesting place

Church Sketches "Barbu Belu" in common GOSTINARI, Giurgiu county, of whose existence, we celebrate 192 years since it was built in 1818 by Stefan Belu. In the hermitage church of GOSTINARI not have as not to remain impressed by the construction, other times sumptuous, now in an advanced state of decay. Construction is now a ruin, a ruin by imposing her style and massive. The three towers, which once were the pride of this sanctuary today are covered only by darkness hard times that have passed over them. None has no roof to protect the interior of the church. Raised during Phanariots, has not served as a place of worship since 1857, when the present church building of the village. Since, as the frontispiece painting, dedicated to the "Assumption", inside the sanctuary still preserves some of the paintings of yesteryear.
Worth visited, all air bearing a desolate location and mysterious!
