I stopped by this synogogue on a recent business visit to Moldova, and was treated so well but the incredible staff! Delicious kosher food and minyan. I'll definitely be visiting here again

This church is a solutley beautiful both inside and out. The exterior somewhat looks russian. The interior is clean and decorated beautifully with an exotic touch. There is an area to light your candle (for a small donation) and say a prayer. Really a must see.

We were on our way back to the airport after our tour of Moldova when our marvelous tour guide took a detour to show us this place and I'm so glad she did. It's so picturesque, a real fairy tale place and one of the highlights of my trip to Moldova. We were told that there are plans to expand the open air museum but it could take a while as there's no actual timetable for the planned expansion and from what we were told this is fairly normal for Moldova so it could be a good few years yet before there's any more to see on this site. Having said that what there is to see is utterly charming. You only need 30 minutes or so but you'll probably take some of the best pictures here.
