In the church’s vault are buried the founders (big chancellor Săndulache Sturdza and his wife Ecaterina), their son Costache Sturdza, and his son Alexandru Sturdza. Later, after the acquisition of the domain in Rugionasa by the Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza, in 1862, the Noble Court Church became reign necropolis, here being buried, in 1873 the Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza. Earlier, other members of Cuza family were buried at Ruginoasa: Sultana Cuza (Prince’s mother, dead in 1865), big equerry Grigore Cuza (Prince’s uncle, dead in 1869) and Dimitrie Cuza, Prince’s brother. In 1888 and 1890 near the church were buried Prince’s sons, Dimitrie and Alexandru.
