The first church on this site was made of wood . It burned down in summer 1644 , was remade in wood , and devastated by the 1738 Vrancea earthquake and another in 1790 . After it burned again in July 1844 , it was rebuilt in stone later that year , with funds supplied by '' vornic '' Teodor Burada . However , other historians claim the church was built around 1760 by the '' bragă '' sellers ' guild . According to an 1868 inscription on a cross placed on the altar table and donated by Prince Carol I of Romania , the church had also belonged to the blanket-makers ' guild
