This richly decorated monastery, which combines traditional Moldavian architecture and Renaissance style, was built by Vasile Lupu between 1650 and 1653. Its church contains remarkable Byzantine-inspired frescoes. The fortifications date from 1668. Destroyed by fire and earthquake in 1735 and 1738, the monastery was rebuilt in 1754. Gradually falling into ruin, it was not restored until 1947. Its imposing 30-metre-high tower offers a fine panoramic view. At the entrance, a small museum is dedicated to the writer Ion Creangă, who was a deacon here.
