    Accidentally stumbled upon this gem by following road signs. Driving there is a stunning sight as you creep closer towards the mountains. The monastery itself is gorgeous and nestled beautifully before a canvas of mountains, which makes for stunning pictures. Definitely worth the detour!

    The Monastery nestled in the Romanian countryside is a hidden gem of serenity and spirituality. From the moment you set foot on its grounds, a tranquil aura envelops you, transporting you to a world of peace and reflection. Surrounded by picturesque landscapes, with lush greenery and majestic mountains, this sacred place offers a serene atmosphere that soothes the soul. Stepping inside the monastery, you are immediately captivated by the sheer beauty of its architecture. The timeless Byzantine-style design, adorned with intricate details and vibrant frescoes, is truly awe-inspiring. Every corner of the interior emanates a sense of reverence and wonder, inviting you to explore its sacred spaces and marvel at the ornate iconostasis and exquisitely painted walls. As you wander through the monastery's gardens and courtyards, a deep sense of tranquility washes over you. The harmonious blend of nature's melodies and peaceful surroundings creates an ideal escape from the chaos of everyday life. Here, amidst the whispers of the wind and the gentle rustling of leaves, you find solace and a connection to something greater.

    One of the most well maintained sites for a monastery. It offers lakeside benches where you can just sit in the moment. The garden looks professionally groomed. Would recommend for a quick 30m visit

    The monastery is extremely beautiful and the landscape breathtaking. The museum is definitely worth a visit. I would come back any day now, especially when they are celebrating mass.

    Interesting architecture and the small museum had some eyebrow-raising objects. If you're in the area, the monastary and museym deserve a visit

    A nice, quiet place next to Fagaras mountains. An enchanted place, where you can find peace from the normal stress. You can also visit the church, there are three of them. No entry fee.

    One of the most impressive Romanian monuments from the Southern part of Transylvania, this is an active Orthodox monastery, originally build at the end of 17th century. Feel free to visit this site, as the views towards the mountains, stories, legends and architecture brings a real deal for an interested traveller.

    A beautiful and quiet place with a great blessing and a pleasure to step on its doorstep. The monastery is very clean and tidy, including its surroundings. With an open-air altar made by Sf. Pr. Arsenie Boca. In the back of Monastery is a lake with fish that gives you peace of mind and a positive charge. I'll let you find out more. I warmly recommend this Monastery.
