Bogdana Monastery
Mănăstirea Bogdana
14th-century monastery in Rădăuți, home to Moldavia's oldest surviving stone church.
Founded by Bogdan I, the founder of the principality, in the mid-14th century, the church contains the tombs of several early Moldavian princes and is known as Moldavia's earliest royal burial place. The architecture is plain and sturdy, and some early frescoes survive. Entry is free. It sits in the centre of Rădăuți and is a convenient stop on the way to Putna or Sucevița. The town also has an ethnographic museum and a Friday market.
