A sign at the church reads:

Founded by Mircea Ciobanul (1559), it is considered Bucharest's oldest
church. Assuming a neb-gothic appearance at the repairs done after the great fire
0f 1847 (architect I. Schatter), will be restored to its original form through the
interventions of 1914 (architect Gh. Lupu) and 1928-1935 (architect H. Theodoru).
The facades decorations is specific of the Wallachian 16th century religious
edifices, with apparent brick rows alternating with panels of
plaster. Remarkable carved stone portal (1715)."
