From the initial shape the church suffered some modifications, specially in the period between the years 1698 and 1702, being designed with the actual Baroque style.

The iconostasis was painted by Nicolae Alexici in the year 1863 and the vault of the church was painted by Nicolae Alexei between 1845-1848. The paint was restored in 1902 by his son, Stefan Alexei.
