Discover Crișan: Holiday apartment for local history and Route 025

Crișan is a destination for you if you would like to discover local history through specific buildings and historical turning points. The “Sf. Mc. Dimitrie” Church stands in Crișan: it was built between 1909 and 1913 in the Byzantine style. When planning your stay in a holiday apartment in Crișan, this provides a cultural perspective that can be combined with a regional route and religious references in the surrounding area.

Church and visual art in Crișan

The church also contains the icons of its iconostasis. They were created in 1913 by the Bulgarian painter N. Godef. This gives you a tangible detail of local history that connects the building, its interior furnishings and the period shortly before the First World War. Families can use this example to talk about the history of a village, religious visual art and the changes a place experiences over time.

During the First World War, the village of Crișan was destroyed, while the “Sf. Dimitrie” Church survived. In the same historical context, the surviving church was converted into a food storage facility. Crișan was formerly known as Capugi. The Crișan parish was founded in 1927. Until 1909, Turks also lived in the village of Crișan; until then, there was neither a church nor a prayer house there.
