History

The church was built in the western, Vlach quarter of the town between 1819 and 1827. Its iconostasis was painted by Constantin Lecca. Behind it stands the cemetery chapel, which is actually the surviving apse of the first stone Orthodox church in the town, built at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries.
