    It is great and amazing . Read a bit about it before you enter. It is beatiful, clean and very well taken care of. We were lucky there were no crowds around us.

    Nice place to visit. Behind the monastery there are some stair that lead you on top of the stone where the monestery is carved - the view up there is very nice. When you decent go to the right and have a look at the fish and the croxes - we were lucky - the owner of the coffee/restaurant, which told us he's local told us more about the story of the place.

    Impressive! It is not too much to visit, but it is worth it! Visit the blue house nearby, as well!

    An ancient church dated officially from1512, but possibly much older. A belvedere point. Great place to take pictures with a perfect light and colours balance. The old blue house right next to it has an amaizng garden with a "giant" and a small waterfall.

    Very nice and impressive. Up 1 star...should have some indication for the climb pathway: does it take you somewhere, or is it just a top hill view?

    It's so beautiful! The view is AMAZING from the top, and I can't believe it's SO OLD and still holding! Inside, it's old but so strong. At the top, there is a cross symbolising Jesus. Overall, it was a great place.

    A lesser known place in Arges County. You can reach by car at this small church. Above the church is a belvedere point.

    Something else, picturesque, old, basic but humbling. Makes you think about the old days! Loved that you could use the side, wooden stairs to climb the rock and enjoy a nice view from the top. There was also the Stonebird rock music festival taking place on the hills in front so that could be an extra atraction for tourists.

    My experience there was great. There were no other visitors, and I arrived by the sunset time. You can go up on the main rock through some side stairs for a better view of the village that is cute and quiet. There's no need to spend a long time there, but I found it pleasant to stay for some time enjoying the peaceful and silent atmosphere. The Ravenclaw Monastery (Mănăstirea Corbii de Piatră) is one of the many magical and mysterious places in Romania. Its existance was first documented in 1512. Some consider that the site, carved into a 30m high x 14.5m wide seawall, has something of the 10th century Byzantine style. Others suggest that because its entrance is camouflaged, a hatch less than 1m high, that the temple can be dated to around the 2nd century, time when Christians were persecuted. There are also historians who believe that the place is even older, and may even be a point of worship of the Dacians, the original people who occupied that region, dedicated to their god Zalmoxis.

    An exquisite place to visit, special in it s placement, amount of work involved and unfortunately degradation. It is stunning through.its simplicity and those years of carving in stone can be felt. The painting is degrading due to the humidity inside but paying attention you can see the beautiful details. I encourage you visit the area and hopefully explore this beautiful cultural heritage România has to offer. What I also enjoyed was the fact that there is a path that leads up the rocks that you can explore for yourself and you get a nice view. It is as simple as it is stunning this place. Also the drive there takes you through Mușatini a long village with stunning houses. I really like this area and this monastery is it's heart and soul. I have attached a photo that can help get an understanding of the view you can get climbing the rock. Enjoy.

    It got me very excited

  • 3/5 Florin P. 1 year ago on Google • 67 reviews
    Worth seeing. The church is dug in a stone wall. There are only suppositions concerning the age of it. Some says the 10th century, others the 2nd but nobody knows for certain, it can be older and could have been a place to worshipping the dacian god Zamolxe/Zamolxis

  • 5/5 Andreea D. 7 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Amazing and unique. Mural painting since IV siecle, nice view and legends. Lots of fabulous stories.You should ask for a guide

    A wonderful landscape!

  • 3/5 Mihai R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nothing to see or do, besides the stone carved church. The city panoram is nice but it is badly directed. Go visit the blue house, 30m up on the street

    A place full of history!

    The monastery is nice, but the view from up there is amazing

  • 5/5 Janin P. 1 year ago on Google
    A church in a rock...you have to see it

  • 4/5 Sorin V. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a fantastic place but it has been let to decay. The head of the Orthodox church should help that place. The monastery is 700 years old and should be part of the national treasure but is in very bad situation.

  • 5/5 Ana-Maria Alexandru AMC I. 5 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Peacefulness, beauty and a state of grace. In the silence, all questions get answers. Next door there is a small blue house at the feet of a fabled giant captured in the rock. On the other side of the road, a white house with a tiny prayer room, offers holy ointment for healing the body as much as connecting to the true spirit of this space helps heal the soul.

    Great historical place, filled with significance. Beyond the cave Church you can go up on the hill above the caves, great views.

  • 4/5 Vasileios K. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are passing by is good idea to stop and have a look, the church is quite impressive. Behind and in the top there is a small path leading to a waterfall.

  • 5/5 Vlascu A. 1 year ago on Google
