Photographer’s Note

This Orthodox church is the only one of its kind in Europe and it has the only working mechanisme in the whole world. It shows the phases of the moon hence the name 'moon church' . It was build between 1784 and 1790. Although astonishing from the outside because of the lunar indicator, the inside is very worth a visit as well. And inside you can find the history of the moon church. Unfortunately it is written down in romanian, french and german so if you don't speak those languages it offers no further explanation. And even if you do speak one of those languages.. it has been typed ages ago.. and is sometimes very hard to read. But very interesting though.
