Ivănești, Ialomița

Ivăneşti is a village in Ialomiţa County, Romania. It is part of the commune of Ciulniţa.

The church near the village of Ivăneşti is the object of a modern legend. According to this legend, during WWII some German soldiers sought asylum in the church. The Russian soldiers however stormed the church and killed the German soldiers. While defending the church the German soldiers cursed the church because the divinity had not granted them the refuge to which they considered that they were entitled. Since then, the church, which has been abandoned is said to be haunted by evil spirits.
