Art/Literary - Architecture / descriere biserici
Romanian term or phrase: caramida zimtata
Tot în veacul al XVIII-lea a fost adosat turnul pe latura de sud a pronaosului, realizat de meşterii XX zidarul şi XX de la X, amprenta muntenească fiind aplicată prin cornişa alcătuită din cărămizi zimţate ce formează arcuri deasupra ferestrelor. Monumentul este astăzi lipsit de podoaba picturală, pereţii fiind recent văruiţi.
