At Dealul Greabănu, northwest of the village, there is a settlement dating back to the 4th century, from the Migration Period. The specific place name and location give you a concrete reference point for this archaeological aspect of the village’s history. Its dating clearly distinguishes it from the later church history associated with the year 1777. If you are interested in the history of earlier settlements, this combination of a named site and a clear date is particularly relevant.

The “Sf. Arhangheli” ensemble in Fântânele, Comuna Mărgăritești, dates back to 1777. Its bell tower is also dated to that year and belongs to the same ensemble. The “Sf. Arhangheli” wooden church is affiliated with the Fântânele parish and has a double dedication: “Sf. Arhangheli” and “Izvorul Tămăduirii.” A historical account says that the church was brought from Licoi in 1777. The distinction is important: the ensemble and bell tower date back to 1777, while the historical date associated with the wooden church refers to when it was brought here. Together, these details give the church’s history a specific temporal and local context.
