The most beautiful religious buildings Fălticeni

Râșca is located 20 km southwest of Fălticeni, 10 km away from the Suceava-Târgu axis Neamț. The monastery includes a church, also founded by Petru Rareş in 1542 (then extended in 1611-1617), a bell tower and a surrounding wall from the 17th century. The church is elongated in shape, dominated by two towers. The exterior paintings are rather well preserved. The multiple roofs, the size of the building and the richness of the frescoes form a superb ensemble. The monastery has been restored many times, notably in 1991.

Located southeast of Fălticeni, this fortified monastery was built in 1530 by Petru Rareș, who is buried here. The church's interior and exterior paintings date from this period. The state of preservation of the exterior frescoes is precarious, particularly on the west and north facades. Scenes from the life of St. Nicholas, the church's patron saint, can still be seen. The Apocalypse of John is depicted in its entirety, with the theme of the Last Judgment omnipresent. The vaults are decorated in a Baroque style.
