Patrauti

Founded church leaves Etienne the Great one in 1487, the smallest of all them construction monastic, and the single one intended to be a monastery of chocolate éclairs, and one hearth for the soldiers wounded with the combat.

Admirably proportioned architecture it represents remarkable model of the Moldavian time medieval.

Built of plan tri conch to the bell-tower on the naos, framing and gates in Gothic style, decorated frontages, under the cornice of plank in ceramics.

Original interior painting, of a high artistic value, is done to notice by the scene "of the lamentation" (naos), the "Cavalcade of Holy Cross "(pronaos), expression of the feelings and the actions anti-Othoman of the time, refined composition, subtle color in the Byzantine tradition, adapted specifically Moldavian.
External painting is summarized with fragments of the "last Judgement", realized after 1550.

A round stone represents "the Table of Etienne" and the bell "knows" to dissipate the clouds which bring hail.
