Humor Monastery, Northeast Romania, Romania

4.5 (213 reviews) Thursday: 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Northeast Romania Religious Sites

More compact than other painted monasteries

This monastery is a little more remote than some other monasteries but is only a 4km drive north of Gura Humorului. There is free parking in the square and it is only a short walk from here. The site is more compact than some others and very well tended. Our personal view is that the paintings were not quite as refined as some other monasteries but nevertheless, it is worth visiting and most of the paintings remain in very good condition.

Very nice place
Very nice, old monastery, close to Gura Humorului (about 10 minutes drive). There is a fee you must pay for visiting the monastery, 10 lei (2 euro) for adults, 5 lei (1 euro) for children. You can also climb to the top of the tower, there's a nice view of the surrounding area from up there.

Humor Monastery - worth visiting ...
Once more another of the 8 monasteries of Bucovina - that are on the UNESCO world heritage list ... This one is situated near Gura Humorului , just a few km outside of the city, once again not built by king Stephen the great, this monastery was built by the royal chancellor of king Petru Rares - Teodor Bubuiog ... The main color of this monastery is red - and shades of dark red (Vornoret is blue, Sucevita is green, ... this is red.) Same thing like with the other monasteries - the paintings on the outside - the world famous paintings are slowly but surely fading - one of the walls is still looking spectacular. Entrance fee is very pocket friendly, but pay attention -no pictures allowed inside the church. The tower in the courtyard is also worth a few minutes of attention - to climb to the top platform will be an adventure on itself. Overall an interesting experience - when you are in Bucovina check it out.
