The Borzeşti church was built by Ştefan cel Mare in 1493 (1494?) A.D. Legend says that the church was dedicated to a childhood friend killed during the invasions of the Tatars.

The church is designed in a Moldavian style, just as the Războieni Church and the Piatra Neamţ Church (1497-1498). The murals of the church were restored in 2004. The Gothic windows are partially destroyed.
