The church was built in 1857. The villagers transported the stones for the building from the valley of River Rău (Bad). The distance from the river to the top of the “Dâmbul bisericii” (Church Hill), was not less then 2 kilometres. The architecture of the church is influenced by the baroque style, as is frequent in the Oaş Region. The first phase of the church had only the nave and the altar, without the porch, iconostasis and the tower. The iconostasis and tower was built between 1934 and 1937. The iconostasis was made by the sculptor Ion Vlasiu and the painter Gheorghe Vânătoru, according to the Byzantine canons. The screen of the iconostasis is sculpted in oak wood, with decorations inspired from the popular art of the local craftsmen. The pronaos and the gallery were built between 1980 and 1987. The fresco decoration of the inside, in Byzantine style, was made in the same period. All the work was assigned to the great ethnographer of the Oaş region: Gheorghe Focşa. A particularity of the church is that the monks of Bixad monastery served here over 50 years. (DB).Moiseni - The Orthodox Church of “Archangels St. Michael and Gabriel”
