Hîrbovăț monastery, Orthodox monastery in Hîrbovăț, Moldova

The monastery complex includes two separate churches, one dedicated to winter services and another specifically designed for summer worship services.

Founded in 1730 by boyar Constantin Carpuz, the monastery endured three destructions by Ottoman forces before its reconstruction in the early 19th century.

The monastery received a significant religious artifact in 1790, an icon of the Mother of God from Russian general Nikolai Albaduyev's wife.

Located at coordinates 47.333778 latitude and 28.31075 longitude, the monastery operates under the Diocese of Ungheni and Nisporeni jurisdiction.

Soviet authorities closed the monastery in 1962, converting it into a school for disabled children until its return to the Orthodox Church in 1992.
