Enculești Wooden Church/Gurgui Hermitage
Biserica de lemn din Encluești/Schitul Gurgui
The wooden church dedicated to the Holy Hierarch Nicolae and built in 1687 is originally dedicated to the Trivale Monastery. The nun Marta, Sister Nica's sister, on September 5, 1687 donated «her hermitage at the bottom of Valea Mare, from the place called Gurgui», a gift later confirmed by Constantin Brancoveanu on May 8, 1697. The church was later moved from Ploscaru hamlet. Here the services are held only once a year, but some icons or objects that belonged to this church can be admired at the National Museum of Art in Bucharest or the royal doors made of rosewood exhibited at the Argeș County Museum.The biblical painting »Jesus Pantocrator« painted on a wooden panel and superimposed in the centre of the vault dates from the 18th century as the episcopal chair decorated with rosettes carved in wood. A few icons that may have been part of the national heritage can still be touched by the parishioners. The open porch, with a gabled roof and a triangular pediment, amplifies the majesty of the monument, and the decoration of the access frame in the nave reflects the aesthetic concerns of the cruise craftsmen. Also in the courtyard of this wooden church, there is a stone cross decorated with rosettes inscribed in a circle dating from 1741, from September 1.
