Precupetii Vechi Church has lived hostile times but it preserved and grew through works of many believers, many holy faces, that the history honors.

The church requests continuous care. In 1898 it has been renovated, enlarged and painted again with help from tutor Anton Georgescu, priests Grigore Dinescu and Ioan Ionescu.

The altar wall dates from that year which has icons painted by Gheorghe Zograf who’s signature can still be seen on the “Last Supper” above the doors.

Other improvements, restoration of paintings have been made between 1906-1909 with the help of priest Nicolae Popian. After the 1940 earthquake the big spire has been rebuilt, the walls and the two small spires have been strengthen, and the painting has been washed and finished

The present oil painting is the work of painter Keber and dates from 1930.

The church obtained the present look through two successive interventions: in 1942, painters like Dogarescu and Hermineanu worked at the church and in 1964painter Gheorghe Teodorescu-Romanati, helped by Constantin Stanescu - priest and painter. After 1977 and 1986 earthquakes the church suffered damages that affected also the painting that needed strengthening and restoration in many spots.
