History
Nicula Monastery has been known in the Romanian region since 1552 as one of the oldest monastic centers. From 1659 onward, it also served as an imperial school attended by children from the surrounding villages. The glass-painting tradition of Nicula was learned by villagers and is still preserved by the monks today.
The wooden church in Nicula dates from the 17th century and was moved here from the hamlet of Năsal–Fânaţe. The Reformed-Calvinist Church of Fizeșu Gherlii was built in 1675, repaired in 1761 and completely demolished in 1930.

During the documented pilgrimage in 2026, the journey took approximately three hours.
