I heard a lot about the monasteries in the area and it was a wise choice to start visit them starting with the Putna Monastery.

We didn't sleep there, but for few hours in a splendid natural setting it's a great choice. The church is less fancy than other one nearby, but that shouldn't put you off visiting it.

Unfortunately, this large monastery was burnt in the 1600s and the paintings were lost. The architecture though is impressive and it was one of the most impressive piece ordered to be built by Stephen the Great. I suggest to not miss it from the visiting circuit.

This is very much a working monastery. We stayed 2 nights: a bit austere but comfortable room with good en suite bathroom. The church is relatively plain (compared to painted monasteries nearby).

This Monastery is at the end of the road. They have a museum inside the outer walls of the Monastery. The museum contains tomb covers such as Lady Mary of Mangop and the Kollyva Bowl, 1567. A detailed coat of arms of Alexandru Lăoyșneanu. These were made with silk and silver thread. The history is so intriguing.

Look on the mountain to the left of the monastery. You will se Stefan's name written with trees - I did not expect that and I have not seen that anywhere else before. The family tomb also give a you a feeling of solemnity.

Putna monastery, built in the 16-th century by Stefan the Great, who is also buried here, is certainly the most beautiful monastery in Moldova and Bucovina. Beside the old church, which was reworked and rebuilt, there is also a very interesting museum, where you can see a copy of the sword of the great king. It is a "must to visit" point for everyone interested in the culture or history.
