The Wooden Church of „Saint Nicholas” of the Former Ştiuborănii Hermitage,  Ştioborăni Village, Soleşti Commune, Vaslui County (code LMI 2004: VS-II-m-A-06884)

 

 

Built in 1726 by the boyar Grigoraş Mardare in the middle of e secular forest, situated in the north of the village, as a hermitage church. In 1809 it was a small monastery under the bishopric of Roman, and after the secularization of the monastery assets from 1863, it becomes a parish church.

 

It was moved on the actual emplacement during 1943 and 1945 because of the earth slide from the 29th / 30th night of March 1942. The redeployment was done by the local masters: Iorgu Mardare, descendant of the founder, and Gheorghe Bodaie from Iaşi, according to the extras made by V. Moisescu, approved by the Commission for Historical Monuments. Due to this occasion, the threshold on the south side was built in the same style as the monument.

 

It is remarkable through the mastership of having built the vaulting system, the separating pillars between the nave and the narthex related to the so-called “Moldavian baroque”, the adaptation of the material to the desired plan, the rarity of the plan and the decoration of the facades at the confluence between folk and cult arts. Three-apse church with apse nave and unhooked pentagonal apse of the altar, belfry tower on the threshold, south entrance, stone foundation, portent walls of oak beam girders bound in straight loop, wooden floors, long four-shape roof. The facades are decorated with a “saw teeth” cordon over the dado, another median one “in rope” and a frieze of alcoves under the perch. The rectangular windows with accolade opening, decorated with geometric, solar and plant motifs, increase the allure of the facades.

 

The interior of the halidom is remarkable through the separating wall from the nave and the narthex, formed of four pillars, two of them being united, richly decorated with the motif of “buck horns” supporting the frontal marked with an accolade opening. The craftsmanship of the carpenter master imposes itself through the cleverness the vaults were made (hexagonal on the narthex, octagonal on the nave, semi-domes on the altar and apses), as well as through adaptation of the material to the desired plan, made in curved fasciae with arch ribs “in rope” united in a rosette vault decorated with geometric elements. The bind between vaults and walls is made by oblique-faced beams made in grades just like the beat  of the eaves, supported on chopped consoles under the form of “horse head”.
