The wooden church from Șoimușeni was built in XVI century, the specialists concluded after the analysis of constructive elements. Some claim that it was brought from Fericea village. A graphic made in XVIII century on a beam of the south wall was indicated the date of sanctuary's reparation and the inscription above the nave entrance it is referring to the painting's accomplishment in 1863.

That painting was destroyed by the bad weather, in 1990-91 it was covered with painting on sail.

Only here and there you can take pictures of the old painting: Saint Ilie in the carriage and some Saints. No, it's not the photographers fault the images are real, the tower is leaned! In 2000 the leaning of the belfry tower had began and the situation is worse day by day. The tower's weight with the bells in it already began to raise the church's end of altar's side. What are they waiting for? Until the tower will collapse and a historic monument will be destroyed?
