Church of the Nativity

The main Orthodox church in Hîncești, a standard 19th-century Moldovan church with whitewashed walls and a painted interior. Worth a brief visit if you are passing through the centre of town — the churchyard is shaded and quiet, and the frescoes inside follow the traditional Orthodox iconographic programme with some local character in the details.

Hîncești has several other churches from the same period, a reflection of the town's relative prosperity during the 19th century under Russian imperial administration.
