The Arbore Church is smaller but typical of the noble class, as it was raised by Luca Arbore, one of Suceava's nobles. The church is known for its unique feature, the great niche on the Western side, which had probably been used as a belfry before. The church is 24 meters long, 9.85 meters wide and 8,5 meters high. The pronaos shelters Luca Arbore's tomb.

The inside painting was fmished between 1503 and 1504. The painter Dragosin restored it after it had been destroyed during Soliman the Magnificent's campaign in Moldova.

The outside walls are decorated with one of the most beautiful frescos in Moldova.
