Also then, it started the building of a great church on the purpose of perpetuating the message of the Maglavit and of spreading it.
The big church from brick wall was planned and was projected on the pillars in order to be protected from the waters of the Danube.
Currently, because the construction of a barrier, the water no longer threatens the church.
