Study case: Monastery “Saint John the New from Suceava”
This paper is part of the doctoral research concerning the places of sites and church towers in the development of urban patterns in the city of Suceava. Studying the hystorical existing plans of the surroundings of the Monastery “Saint John the New from Suceava”, we observed the importance of this religious settlement in the life of the city. Some of the most important hystorical and social events that have to be mentioned are the improprietions that were made during the reign of Alexandru Ioan Cuza and the secularization that was made after the World War II. The improprietion of the monastic fortunes was one of the great reforms adopted by the ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza for the modernization of the new state, founded in 1859, by uniting Moldavia with Wallachia. Through this administrative reform, adopted in 1863, the properties of churches and monasteries dedicated to foreign places were tansferred into the State ownership. The secularization that took place after the World War II was, unlike the one that Cuza made, not only a material one, but also one that referred much more to a removal of Christian practices. In 1952, religious services were regulated, and they were reduced. There were also strict rules for a church to function and be opened for the believers. The sustainability of the Monastery “Saint John the New from Suceava” establishment results mainly from the religious life sustained over time. The built environment has changed, especially reducing the space where the faithfull gather around the church at the main events.
