Summary/Abstract: The Church of Saints Enoch, Elijah, and John the Theologian (1602) is part of the Dragomirna Monastery complex, being one of the most remarkable monuments built on the territory of medieval Moldavia. Much better known is the church of The Descent of the Holy Spirit, that stands out for its unique architecture, in which its height and stone lacing make it unique in the Moldavian architectural landscape. Located outside the fortified enclosure, the small church situated in the monastery cemetery has remained little known, although it is linked to the beginnings of the building of the monastic complex.
