Neamț Monastery
Mănăstirea Neamț
One of Romania's oldest and most important monasteries, once a centre of manuscript copying and culture in Moldavia.
The monastery's history goes back to the 14th century. Its main church was completed in 1497 by Stephen the Great and is a classic example of the 'Moldavian style', with monastic buildings arranged around a large courtyard. The museum and library hold medieval manuscripts and icons. It was once the largest scholarly centre of monastic learning in Romania. Entry is free, but dress modestly. It is about 12 km from Neamț Citadel.
