Church of the Holy Archangels, Satulung

Located in Satulung, a former village that is now a district of Săcele, it is dedicated to the Archangels Michael and Gabriel.

However, the spatial arrangement, based on cylindrical ceilings of stone, brick and wood, is characteristic of Transylvania.

The western entrance has a porch, initially open but later closed with large windows, to protect the structure from the elements.

While the latter incorporates the Brâncovenesc style, the spire and the spacious interior point to the Transylvanian Baroque, as does the rich stucco facade decoration of double pilasters and composite capitols, later degraded by unskilled workers.

[1] The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture, as are the old school and the wall.
