Cuibul cu barză Church

As mentioned on the inscription, placed after the 1898 rehabilitation at the entrance of the church, the name is due to the nests which storks had built on the building's shingle roof.

After the first repairs, carried out in 1853, the main dome had to be rebuilt in 1877 and in 1898, the church was completely rehabilitated by architect Toma Dobrescu.

After the completion of the restoration, in 1987, the church was scheduled for demolition, due to the new town planning for the Știrbei Vodă area.

A group of concerned technicians under the leadership of engineer Eugen Iordăchescu, technical director of the "Proiect București" design institute were able to come with a solution of saving the church, by moving it 12 m (39 ft) southward.

The school was attended by George Călinescu, Eugen Filotti, Dumitru Cornilescu, and other notable people.
