Its construction in 1701-1702 makes it more than a decade older than the Stavropoleos Monastery.

The Church of the Holy Three Hierarchs in Bucharest is part of the Colțea complex, originally built in the early 18th century, around 1701-1702, at the initiative of Spatharus Mihai Cantacuzino. The object underwent several reconstructions, especially after earthquakes and fires that affected the city. It is characterized by traditional Romanian architecture, with ornate details and paintings. The church is an important historical and religious point in Bucharest, serving as a place of Orthodox worship.
