Two old hidden churches moved on wheels in the 1980s to escape socialist bulldozers.
Wikipedia says the top one, the Antrim Monastery, "is connected to the Legionnaires' rebellion and Bucharest pogrom. On January 22, 1941, led by Hieromonk Nicodem Ioniță, the monks of Antim armed themselves and, using explosives, blew up a synagogue on Antim Street. The numerous Jewish inhabitants of the neighbourhood hid in terror."
