Age of Old Orthodox Church
While I am no scholar on the subject, I have a theory that the Old Orthodox Church, "Sfintii Arhangheli", is dated 1756 above the doorway. However, the article states Sfintii Arhangheli was built in 1759.

I have a picture from above the doorway to Sfintii Arhangheli. Above the door, there are two "words". I believe it reads, in Romanian Cyrillic letters, "In 1756".

I translated the first word as "In". I copied the Transitional Alphabet characters into Google, and I found an exact entry for "In or Into" in Old Church Slavonic (used in Eastern Catholic Churches). The translation can be found here: Vede Ier (or Yer). A Russian Pentateuch version of the Bible from 1825 also confirms that the word is "In" as the first word above the doorway is the first word of the first line of the Book of Genesis: Unbound Bible.

I translate the second "word" as a numeral reading, "One(-thousand) Seven-Hundred Fifty Six". An article on Cyrillic numerals is here: Cyrillic Numerals. Note the picture of the clock tower, the "1" and "6" look exactly like the characters above the door!

The Wikipedia article on Romanian Cyrillic Alphabet is here: Romanian Cyrillic Alphabet. It confirms the use of the letters for numerals.

I can upload the picture if wanted-- and if can figure out how. But, I am sure many readers are actually there!

(On another note, any pictures of Pemnita Monului???)

Until I have posted a picture, the characters above the door appear to be:

First word: Vede Ier (or Yer)

Second word: Az Psi Naş Zalu

I have discovered further evidence that the second "word" is a numeral: above the first character of the second word (the Romanian Cyrillic letter Az), I believe there is a titlo, which is used to differentiate numbers from letters. Furthermore, in the lower-left, I believe there is a Combining Cyrillic Thousands sign.

From further research, I have found: "This was in part because, unlike the Romanian Orthodox who until 1863 officially used Church Slavonic in their Byzantine liturgy, the Romanian Church United with Rome used the Romanian vernacular since its beginnings" Romanian Church United with Rome, Greek Catholic

Found the source of the incorrect date on Wikipedia. As of April 14, 2010, the Primaria Comunei Creaca website has two dates for "Sfintii Arhangheli". One date is on the Prima Pagina (1759) and another on the Cultura page (1756). The latter is clearly correct. Will contact Primaria Comunei Creaca to make the correction.

Location?
The infobox currently says the location is 47.16611°N, 23.2°W. Rul3r2003 has also added 47.2°N, 23.25°W, which is about 5 km away. I don't know which is correct, though there seems to be a group of buildings more-or-less at the first. For now, I've commented out the second; if that's more correct, the coordinates should be put in the infobox. —WWoods (talk) 18:11, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, the right location is 47°9′58″N 23°12′0″E, in fact there is the center of the village. I couldn't remove the other coord, sorry for that. Rul3r2003 (talk) 22:53, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
