The wooden church in Târgu Mureș
The wooden church 'Saint Archangel Michael' was built between 1793-1794, being the oldest Orthodox church in Târgu Mureș. It has a simple rectangular plan with a pentagonal apse and a shingle roof. The bell tower has a large and a smaller bulb, and the iconostasis and interior paintings were made in 1814 by the craftsmen Bon Vasile and Popa Nicolae. The history of this church is linked to an episode in the life of Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu, who spent a night in the bell tower of the church in 1866, at the age of 16, on his way to Blaj, a fact that was later mentioned in one of his poems.
