Brăila - Greek Church of the Holy Archangels
Orthodox monastery in Brăila county
What it feels like
Beeswax candles, the faint scent of incense, the distant chant from inside. Quiet courtyards walled against the rest of the world.
The Church of the Holy Archangels of the Greek community in Brăila (1863) is one of the most valuable places of worship of the Greek diaspora in Romania. The carved wooden iconostasis and the icons brought from Greece make it a gem of Orthodox religious art.
