Jercalai Monastery
Built in 1731 in Luieriu village of Reghin, Mureş county, this chapel is an architectural monument with a remarkable history, being relocated three times in its almost 3 centuries of existence. In 1932, Luieriu village inhabitants gave the chapel as a gift to the royal family, and it was thus moved to Bran castle – Brasov county. In the spring of 1956, the chapel was reassembled at Cricov, among the ruins of the old stone-wall church of the hermitage, on whose altar a great, 400 year-old stone cross was set, brought from Dobrogea. Ambassador of Transylvanian art on Muntenia land, this chapel has a thaumaturgic icon of the Virgin Mary, brought from the Holy Grave.
This chapel is distinguished through the exquisite harmony of its proportions, as well as through the beauty of inner paintings, of great artistic value, made of two layers, the initial one dating as back as 1731, tempera-based painting, which maintained on the rood screen and the arch, and the second layer, on the lateral walls, dating from 1838, comprised of oil-based paintings.
