Cosăuți Monastery
Mănăstirea Cosăuți
An Orthodox monastery about 10 km north of town on the Dniester, backed by limestone cliffs, with a peaceful setting.
Cosăuți Monastery lies near Cosăuți village, north of Soroca and close to the Dniester. It has a church first built in the 18th century and later rebuilt, and a newer monastery complex, all surrounded by limestone cliffs and woodland with wide river valley views. The village has long produced high-quality stone, and the surrounding Cosăuți Landscape Reserve has riverside cliffs and forest trails. Entry to the monastery is free. Women entering the church must cover their heads and wear long skirts. The drive from Soroca takes about 20 minutes.
