Unlike many other churches, this one continued to function in Soviet times. In 2014, its dome was close to collapse and renovations were undertaken thanks to the financial participation of the 400 inhabitants, businessmen and the local administration who managed to raise 2 million lei. A ceremony in 2017 celebrated the completion of the repair work. A small garden surrounds the church and the faithful meet there on the occasion of certain religious holidays such as Easter.
