The present church of the Sfantul loan cel Nou Monastery of Suceava, has “Gheorghe the Saint Great Martyr the bearer of victory” as titular saint, began in 1514 by Stefan cel Mare’ son, Bogdan the 3rd the one-eyed (1505-1517) and was finished by Bogdan’s son, Stefanita (1517-1527) in 1522, being built in a tri-conic plain. The church has hallway, narthex, nave and altar.

The remains of Saint loan cel Nou are kept in the church, being brought to Suceava in 1402 (or 1415 – the historians are not certain) by Alexandru cel Bun and placed in the Mirauti church in the beginning, and then brought to this church by the Vaivode Petru Schiopul in 1589.

The church was painted in the interior and at the exterior in 1534, during the reign of the Petru Rares, the painting being executed in fresco, in Byzantine art. The painting was restored twice, the first time between 1906-1909, by the painter Iohann Viertelberger, and the second time between 2001 -2008. From the exterior fresco only the southern side was preserved, the God’s Mother prayer list and the Spender Son’s Parable (four scenes), while the Ieseu Tree was still perseved in fragments.
