About
Erected around 1699 in Gârdani, the wooden church "The Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel" was relocated to Arduzel about 70 years later. Although the edifice has a small turret, it stands out through the base of the coif which is visibly extended over the pavilion. Unfortunately, the painting on the interior walls is almost completely degraded.
