Probota Monastery
Mănăstirea Probota
Built by Petru Rareș in 1530 and used as the family burial monastery. Its exterior murals were restored with funding from UNESCO.
Probota is the burial monastery of Prince Petru Rareș. The church's exterior was once painted entirely. After restoration in the 1990s, funded by UNESCO and Japan, the interior murals regained their colours. The monastery has a complete square enclosure wall and gate towers, and its atmosphere is peaceful. It is one of the World Heritage sites. Admission is about 10 lei. It lies near Dolhești, about 45 km southeast of Suceava, so a car or hired driver is needed.

Summer approx. 08:00–19:00; shorter in winter
