It appears on a Russian map of 1770, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos, and in an 1810 inventory.

The old church, devastated by earthquakes in 1802 and 1804, was rebuilt in 1820 by the banker Ștefanache Hagi-Moscu.

The aim of the restoration was to bring back the spirit of the original building, thus eliminating the innovations of 1820.

Several stone crosses inscribed in Romanian Cyrillic testify to the cemetery that once surrounded the enclosure.
