Curtea de Arges Monastery is one of the most famous attractions in Romania. It’s also an excellent choice if you’re looking to discover centuries-old religious sites. Its unique architectural style makes it special even in Romania, a country that has hundreds of religious monuments. From medieval plans to royal renovations. Built 500 years ago by Prince Neagoe Basarab, the church became one of the most important in Southern Romania. Its original architectural design inspired for centuries that of many other churches, but none came close to it. The consecration ceremony from 1517 highlighted the importance of the edifice. Even the Patriarch of Constantinople and many priests from Mount Athos attended the event.
However, the following centuries were harsh on the monastery. Fires, earthquakes, and attacks almost destroyed the church which was also a necropolis for its medieval founder and descendants. It was partly restored in the following centuries by Matei Basarab and Serban Cantacuzino. But it’s the first king of Romania, Carol the 1st who carried the amplest renovation work. French architect Emile Andre Lecomte de Nouy was in charge. According to the restoration criteria of the time, the church was almost completely rebuilt and repainted. Sadly, this controversial renovation destroyed the original impressive frescoes. You can only admire some fragments at the National Museum of Art in Bucharest.
The Princely Church of Saint Nicholas in Curtea de Arges was founded by Basarab I (1310 – 1352), and completed in 1352, in the perimeter of the 13th-century voievodal court. The church, a complex inscribed Greek cross monument, is one of the most representative monuments of medieval Romanian architecture, being the oldest voivode-funded religious monument in Wallachia.
