Agapia Monastery, Northeast Romania, Romania
4.5 (95 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #1 in Neamt County Religious Sites
Great but crowded
A lot of tourists come here, try to go early in the morning. The beautiful church was painted by the famous Nicolae Grigorescu, so it is completely different compared to all the others in the region. Full of flowers everywhere

A must see in Bucovina
Best monastery from Bucovina. Very well preserved and most of all very well organised, clean, and you can see the hand from the nuns. Quiet and excelent for meditation. We didnt see the museum, it was closed, but you can buy sweets: sirup and marmelade and its better than all the bracelets or other made in china souvenirs

The beautiful monastery of nuns
The Agapia Monastery it is one the the most important nuns monastery from Romania. It was founded between 1641-1643. What make it famous in the world are the frescoes painted by the great painter Nicolae Grigorescu. Everything what is connected with that monastery means beauty, spirit, peace and serenity. We talk here about flowers, buildings, paintings, carpets, books, many things made by the nuns. Here it is a oasis for collectedness and rest of the spirit. Come and see the blue sky above you from the courtyard of the Agapia Monastery.
