Culture
The UNESCO World Heritage Site “Churches of Moldavia” includes the Church of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist in Arbore and consists of eight churches in northern Moldova featuring exterior murals.
The church’s exterior mural programme includes the scene “The Siege of Constantinople”. According to the depiction, this is the last example of this scene on the exterior of a church.
Construction of the Sfânta Treime Church in Arbore began on 10 May 1901 and was completed in 1908; it was consecrated on 29 August 1912.
The Evangelical Church in Arbore was built in 1912 by the local Evangelical congregation, which consisted mainly of German settlers. It features Neo-Gothic influences, including a tall bell tower and tall, round-arched windows. It has preserved part of its original furnishings, including wooden pews and a simple altar.
The iconography of the Sfânta Treime Church includes 16 national saints depicted in Romanian traditional dress.
The Toader Hrib Village Museum traces its origins to the Hrib family, which assembled its collection over three generations from Romanian peasants’ household utensils, weapons and old coins.
The Toader Hrib Village Museum exhibited, among other things, pottery shards, wooden tools, chests, icons, old coins, flutes, bagpipes, old photographs and decorated eggs; some objects were unique pieces.
The roads and churches also form part of the local landscape: county road DJ 2K from Solca to Milișăuți runs through the centre of Arbore village. The Roman Catholic Church “Nașterea Sfintei Fecioare Maria” is located on the road connecting Câmpulung Moldovenesc and Rădăuți.
