The church combines elements of the old Moldavian style of the 15th and 16th centuries with foreign influences of the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. The church is rectangular, with a single apse at the east end. The two lateral apses of the naos are carved out of the thickness of the wall, and do not show on the exterior. Varatec Iconostasis. The façades are simple and smooth, only a row of low niches goes around the church under the eaves. The two towers are circular, but their bases are polygonal and very tall. At some point, two decorative wooden towers had been added, but in 1900, a fire destroyed the roof of the church and the small towers were not built again.
