A royal pastime

As we drift south out of the centre of Moldova, we get into an aloof and enigmatic region, called Causeni. This is where an ancient architectural monument of a particular artistic and historical value is situated – a church built in 1763. The walls of the church are fully covered by antique frescoes. It seems that the church is lost among the centuries.
The trip goes on with a visit of the French style castle Purcari Winery. This is another extraordinary monument, although built in the 21st century. The winery is famous all over the world for the legendary wine “Negru de Purcari” – a genuine paradise elixir. They say it is being consumed even at the Queen’s Elizabeth II Court.

Recommended to: businessmen interested in art and history or to people simply wishing to live a marvelous fairy-tale day in Moldova.
