The Dârvari Skete (Schitul Dârvari) is a Romanian Orthodox church in central Bucharest. The church is dedicated to the Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
The church was founded in 1834 by Mihail Darvari and his wife Elena as a family chapel. The original church was made of wood and was dedicated the Resurrection of Saint Lazarus. In 1835, monks from monasteries in Pasărea and Samurcășești were brought there. In 1894, Nicolae Darvari repaired the church and added a small dome.
Between 1933 and 1934, the wooden church was entirely demolished and replaced by the current structure. The church was designed by the architect Gheorghe Simotta in an Oltenian-Muntenian style. Iosif Keber made the internal paintings, which have a neo-Byzantine style. The building has a cross-shaped plan with a length of 19 meters and a width of 8 meters and a closed porch. Above the nave, there is an octogonal dome which rests on a square base.
In 1959, the hermitage was closed by the communist regime and the monks were moved to the Cernica Monastery. In 1992, the church was declared a historic monument and in 1996, it was reopend as a monastery. In 2001, the restoration of the damaged monastic cells, the chapel, and the belfry was completed.
