St Mary's Church, Butuceni · Biserica Sfânta Maria Butuceni
Church on the highest point of the Butuceni promontory, by the cave monastery
A stop at the church on the promontory ridge, right after the cave monastery
Worth it as the natural stop after the cave monastery, for the position and the gardens. Access by car is difficult, so be ready to walk up.
Church in the village of Butuceni, in the Orheiul Vechi reserve, standing on the highest point of the promontory, close to the cave monastery. One visitor describes it as built in the 15th and 16th centuries, turned into a museum in the soviet period, re-registered in 1996 and reopened to the public in 1998. Reviews praise how well maintained it is and the gardens around it, and one visitor asks explicitly that the visit be made in respectful silence. It is part of the reserve usual route, immediately after the cave monastery. Worth knowing before you set off: access by car is difficult, and one visitor recommends either an off-road vehicle or walking up.

“Very beautiful church worth to visit it, road to vizit is difficult with car. You need suv or going by walk. Its located at the top of the mountain”
“After visiting the Cave Monastery, it is a standard route for everyone to St Mary's Church, which seems like a natural route to visit. Built in the 15th and 16th centuries and converted into a museum by the Soviet regime in the 20th century, it was re-registered in 1996 and reopened to the public in 1998. # Moldova”
