Tirgoviste Romania
Romanian Orthodox
The monastery was founded in 1431, with construction completed by 1512. Secularized in 1863 it has been used as a camp, a school, and an amunition depot. From 1912-1940 it was a military school. In 1940 the former monastery/school buildings collapsed. The monastery was renovated in the 1950s for an order of priests who remained until 1988. A community of nuns is present now. The church is the only original building and is one of Romania's most important medieval monuments.
