Provincial Heritage Site No. 20
Built in 1908 by Romanian pioneers from Bukovyna, then a province of the Austrian Empire, this is the oldest standing Romanian Church in Manitoba. It replaced a sod-and-log structure dating from 1903.
The form of the church‹a simple rectangle distinguished by rounded ends‹is derived from the traditional church designs common in Bukovyna and Romania. Interior features include sculptured rafters, processional crosses, and icons reflecting the vernacular decorative style.
The church was designed by Alexie Slusarchuk, a farmer, and was built on farmland donated by Elie Burla. It was used for worship until 1952. After its restoration in 1979, and on the 80th anniversary of the founding of the parish, the church was dedicated to the pioneers of the community.
