Livedea Gospod Church
Livedea Gospod Church

The Livedea Gospod Church (Romanian: Biserica Livedea Gospod) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 30 Calea Plevnei in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to Saints Constantine and Helena. The church was built in 1785, probably on the site of an earlier one. The name is an archaic term for “princely orchard” and refers to the ruler’s fruit trees that used to grow in the area. Its ktitors were several neighborhood tradesmen, including a furrier, a tailor and a saddle-maker. They are commemorated in the inscription above the door, written in Romanian Cyrillic and also noting that Michael Drakos Soutzos was prince of Wallachia at the time. Repairs took place in 1861, 1880 and 1919.The shape is trefoil; the building is small (19.5 x 7–9 meters), with very thick walls. In 1880, the original frescoes were covered in oil painting by Gheorghe Ioanide. Costin Petrescu repainted after 1918, and further work was done in 1960. The paintings were restored in 1995–1997. The church building was consolidated after 1998.Original frescoes have been uncovered. These decorate the left apse of the nave, and feature Saints Theodore of Amasea, Theodora and Mercurius. Additionally, the ktitor Constantin Beșleaga appears together with his wife Ștefana and their child.Initially, a bell tower stood above the entrance. It was taken down after becoming deteriorated, and the bells were taken and melted during the German occupation in World War I. New bells were installed after 1918, in a wooden structure repaired in 2003.The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

Cuibul cu barză Church
Cuibul cu barză Church

The Cuibul cu barză Church (meaning the Stork-nest Church) dedicated to the Saint Stephen is a Romanian Orthodox church located on Știrbei Vodă Street in Bucharest's Sector 1. As mentioned on the inscription, placed after the 1898 rehabilitation, at the entrance of the church the name is due to the nests which storks had built on the building's shingle roof. According to documentary evidence from the beginning of the 18th century, a small church existed on the site. A new church was built by the clucer Dona and his wife Zamfira. who were buried in the church in 1830. Their tombstones are preserved in the naos. The church needed frequent repairs. After the first repairs, carried out in 1853, the main dome had to be rebuilt in 1877 and in 1898, the church was completely rehabilitated by architect Toma Dobrescu. The church was repainted in neobyzantine style by Vasile Damian, a priest and painter. The pillars separating the pronaos from the nave were eliminated. A new church porch with three arches was added to the building. The church was included in the list of historic monuments. The 1977 earthquake severely damaged the “Cuibul cu Barză” church, Consolidation works, including concrete reinforcements around the foundation and the dome were started in 1984. A mosaic was fixed on the western facade and the painting was cleaned and restored. After the completion of the restoration, in 1987, the church was scheduled for demolition, due to the new town planning for the Știrbei Vodă area. A group of concerned technicians under the leadership of engineer Eugen Iordăchescu, technical director of the “Proiect București” design institute were able to come with a solution of saving the church, by moving it 12 meter (40 ft) southward. The translation of the building was completed on February 22, 1988. A new high-rise was built, to hide the view of the church from the main street, the access being possible only by a narrow road from Vasile Pârvan street. The new church was reconsecrated on November 21, 1990. A grammar school, called "Cuibul cu barză school" was built next to the church. The school was attended by: George Călinescu, Eugen Filotti, Dumitru Cornilescu and other celebrities. The school's old building was torn down in the late 1980s and a new school, called "Music and visual arts school No. 3 – Cuibul cu Barză" was built in the neighborhood.

Manea Brutaru Church
Manea Brutaru Church

The Manea Brutaru Church (Romanian: Biserica Manea Brutaru) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 4 General Constantin Budișteanu Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The church was built in 1787 by Manea Brutaru, head of the guild of bakers (brutari), for the members of the Popa Radu parish; he replaced a small wooden church of this name, perhaps founded by a priest named Radu. The new masonry structure was completed on August 15, as noted in the pisanie. In 1798, Prince Constantine Hangerli ordered the construction of two buildings in the courtyard, for housing 80 orphans, both boys and girls. Eight cells were built for this purpose in 1801; later in the 19th century, a school functioned there. The 1838 earthquake severely damaged the church, collapsing its dome. Repairs were carried out in 1858, including a restoration of the iconostasis, brought from a metochion of the Râmnic Diocese. The interior was repainted in 1898.The church measures 26.3 meters long by 8-10 meters wide, with an enclosed portico that was added later, a large narthex and a three-lobed nave, with two side apses and one at the altar. The short portico and adjacent part of the narthex (8 by 3 meters), above which sits the choir area, date to the 1858 reparation. The narthex has a vaulted ceiling, while the square-based dome, coated in tin, rests on the nave. The facade, which retains a certain degree of Brâncovenesc influence, is divided into two sections by a plain string course. On three sides of the lower half, there are pairs of arched frames flanked by columns. The upper part lacks decoration, except for a few recesses on the east and west painted with icons of saints. The portico facade features pilasters in bossage and contours of neoclassical influence, a style that also informs the cornice, dome and narthex addition. The interior oil painting depicts a series of saints on the walls and a starry sky on the ceiling. It covers older work by a student of Gheorghe Tattarescu.The yard, which includes a one-floor residential building, is much smaller than in the past; on the north side, there is a stone cross raised by Manea in 1814. The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
