Seen from a distance, the rough stone walls and the small windows give the Church of All Saints of Părhăuţi the image of an impregnable fortress. Only the west façade differs: it is pierced by four large openings on two levels. There are two other openings on the north and south façades, but at the level of the upper storey. It is this open two-storey exonarthex that distinguishes Părhăuţi from other churches, although a similar structure was later built in Baia. The massive and robust church is composed of a rectangle and the compulsory east apse, without any lateral apses. A straight roof that accentuates its severe form covers the structure. The windows are narrow and small. The carved frames have pointed ogee arches. The openings of the exonarthex, on the other hand, are wide and have a round arch. Chancellor Gavril Trotuşan was in his time a colourful person, who, although an official of the prince, belonged to a group of noblemen who opposed the centralized authority of the ruler. In 1523 Prince Stefnită, who confiscated all his belongings, including his personal court and church in Părhăuţi, exiled him. Petru Rareş gave him back his property in 1531. But, Trotuşan was one of the treacherous noblemen who forced Prince Rareş into exile in 1538 and supported his rival Stefan Lăcustă, whom he later helped to assassinate. When Rareş regained his throne in 1541, he had Trotuşan imprisoned and beheaded. The property passed on to his daughter Nastasca. There is no record of the boyar's court, which assumedly was built next to the church. Given the rank of the owner, the house must have been built of stone, and remains would probably be found in archaeological excavations.
