Pošto se mnogo manje informacija objavljuje o Braničevu, za crkve u Braničevu saznajemo iz putopisa engleskog geologa Dentona u svom putopisu Servia and Servians iz 1860.On je prošao putem Dunava do Poreča pa preko Majdanpeka i Neresnice. Iz putopisa saznajemo da su u Dobri, Majdanpeku i Neresnici (druga mesta nije ni posetio) postojale rumunske crkve. Postojanje rumunskih crkava i crkvenih škola treba da se pomeri na kraj 1860 tih odnosno mozda i do 1878 godine.
"A few miles below the entry to "the iron gates," our team boat was moored for the night near the little village of Dobra...
The little W allachian church at this place is so exact a counterpart of the village church in the mral districts where this people are settled, that a brief description of one will serve for that of all the other W allachian churches which the traveller will find in the interior of Servia. It is built in the midst of the cottages of the village, and but for its detached belfry, and the absence of any litter of domestic furniture within the enclosure in which it stands, would scarcely be distinguished from them. The church is thirty-two feet in length by twenty-one in width, external measure~ent, without including the apse at the east end. The floor is of mud ; the roof is of the same kind of oakshingle as that which covers all the cottages of the village, and open in the inside. As the church was erected before bells were allowed to be used by the Christians of Servia, a detached belfry of woodwork in frame has been erected since the church was built. This stands in the little churchyard and at the south'\Vest comer of the church. Near the east end of the church are one or two tombs of former priests, and at the head of the last made grave is a wooden cross. Beyond these graves, of course no others are to be found, as all other bodies are buried in the cemeteries outside the village. The churchyard is fenced in with the same kind of palisade as that which is placed round the village. The interior of this church is in keeping with the poverty of the exterior. It is divided into sanctuary, nave, and narthex; the choir is not architecturally distinguished. A simple slab of wood, resting on a block of the same material, serves for an altar. A small and common table is the only furniture within the diaconicon. The table of prothesis is rather better, and the piscina, which is of stone, is placed on the ground by its side. Two dirty tin candlesticks, with tapers about the size of children's Christmas candles, stood upon the altar; and the priest's vestments, the veil of the iconosta&s, and the covering of the altar, were all of cheap printed calico. Two stone columns, serving for candlesticks, a little in advance of the sanctuary, a seat of painted deal for the bishop whenever he may chance to visit the church, and a desk for the icons, were the only articles of furniture. in the nave. The church is dedicated in honour of St. Nicholas, and his image occurs twice on the iconostasis, which, in addition to the usual paintings, is decorated with cheap prints, daubed with the commonest colours,.....
The village of Maidanpek consists of a double row of houses, about half a mile in length. In the centre a large piece of land has been reserved for a market. One side of this is occupied by the store-houses of the company, with a colonnade nmning along the front. On another side stands a neat brick church, with a framework of timber, and a little bell-turret at the west end, of a very German appearance ; and adjoini\J.g this the village schooi with a couple of taverns, being, as it seemed, respectively houses of call, one for French and Servian, and the other for Wallachian travellers and labourers. ....
After passing these taverns, we accompanied the Greek priest to his church, which he kindly showed us, and answered the questions which we put to him about the serviees. Like most of the priests in Servia, he spoke German, Hungarian, and Wallachian ; but, what is not so universal amongst the parish-priests, he added. to this very fluent Latin....
After about four .hours' drive, we drew up our waggons at an inn-door in the little village of Njeresnitza, inhabited by a mixed population of Wallachians and Servians.
A little beyond this is a small Wallachian church of the same kind as that which I had seen at Dobra. The only peculiarity which I noticed in this church was, that instead of a copy of the Gospels merely, the whole New Testament lay upon the altar. Beyond this church, and at some distance down the village, stands the Servian church. ...."
