Discover Cornu de Jos: Churches, Park and Peaks

Church and Religious History in Cornu de Jos

The present-day church in Cornu de Jos is dedicated to Cuvioasa Parascheva. It was built on the ruins of a church foundation dating from 1771 and features a Serbian-influenced architectural style. The 1771 foundation forms part of the history preceding the present-day church building. Those interested in architecture can observe in this building the Serbian-influenced style alongside the dedication and the connection to the 1771 church foundation.

The Park in the Center

At the center of Cornu de Jos is a 0.60-hectare park with landscaped paths for relaxation and corresponding plantings. Those who include the 0.60-hectare park in Cornu de Jos in a tour of the village can use the landscaped paths as a section for relaxation and take in the plantings within the central park area. Landscaped paths, plants and relaxation define the park. Within the village, the park creates a different accent from the church: the focus is on paths, plantings and relaxation. Those who divide Cornu de Jos into the village center and the surrounding landscape can view the park as a separate section between the church building and the peaks in the surrounding area.

Monastery and Remembrance

The Sf. Ioan Evanghelistul Cornu de Jos Monastery celebrates its annual religious feast days on May 8 and September 25. The two dates fall in May and September and can be taken into account when planning the timing of a stay. The Monumentul eroilor neamului commemorates the wartime deeds of the soldiers from Cornu. For those interested in culture, religious feast days and the remembrance of the soldiers from Cornu thus stand side by side as distinct topics in Cornu de Jos.
