It is the oldest church in Ungheni. An Orthodox religious institution, with a memorial value thanks to its founder, Prince Constantin Moruzi, of Greek origin. The Moruzi family is also famous for having given the Romanian lands two rulers.

The church was built at the end of the 19th century on the estate of the village of Dănuţeni, today a district of the city of Ungheni. Its main founder was Prince Constantin Moruzi, a descendant of an influential Phanariot dynasty. He chose the highest place for the construction of the church, so that the holy place could be seen by all the villagers, and by climbing the bell tower, one could see Iași, the city for which he had an eternal longing.

The church was built in 1882 and has been active since 1887, when it was consecrated. The architecture of the building is still impressive today, and the cross-shaped plan and the roof with 9 spires of different sizes are reminiscent of the Russian style, in vogue at the time.

After many years of activity, in 1961, the Soviets decided to close the church. For several decades, the holy place was left to decay. However, it was not destroyed, as the locals fiercely opposed it. The most valuable holy things disappeared from the church, but a few icons and the iconostasis have been preserved to this day.
The founder of the church also sleeps his eternal sleep here, in a marble tomb.
The church was reopened in the early 1990s, with the national revival movement. It was repaired with the help of parishioners. However, some elements of the original architecture could not be restored.
