Lăzești village, situated 5 km away from Vadu Moților commune, has a wooden church built in 1736. The edifice is in the center of the village on a higher peak. The initial construction was smaller, the pronaos was added in 1878, and the roof was shingle, which was changed in 1964 to galvanized sheet. The church was painted in 1763 by Popa Gheorghe Tobias.

It is the merit of the church leaders and the community, that the restoration did not change the original appearance, the old painting was preserved. The icons were made in 1878, but old books from the sec. XIX. At the same time the chandelier was made.
