The place called Presetchain is still known by the same name by the locals in the area. Though today it's part of a greater town. According to old maps, the village where the Hutterites built was probably somewhere near this field right outside the town of Buturugeni. The Hutterites had safely escaped one enemy, only to fall into the crossfire of the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774. The tragedies that happened during this time are too traumatic to retell here. You can find the full account in the Chronicle. We honor the memory and resilience of the ancestors with the utmost respect. *Quote:* Springtime came and the brothers looked around for another place to settle. They found a beautiful area that the Wallachians spoke of as the lowest part of Paradise. It was called Presetschain, from the name of the nobleman who owned it. Years earlier, there had been a nobleman's manor house there, but it had fallen into ruin and only the fruit trees - apple, cherry, and plum - and the nut trees remained. Wood for building was so close at hand that we could haul four good, full loads a day;' about eighty logs altogether. There were fields to cultivate and pasture for the cattle right at our door, much better soil than a Tschoregirle, and good, fresh water.
