Hîrjauca monastery, Eastern Orthodox monastery in Hîrjauca, Moldova.

The monastery complex comprises multiple stone buildings and features traditional Moldovan religious architecture situated within dense forest surroundings.

The monastery originated from a prayer house built by Teodosie in 1740, later expanding when two monks from Neamț Monastery joined the religious community.

The monastery functions under the Diocese of Ungheni and Nisporeni within the Metropolis of Chișinău and represents traditional Eastern Orthodox practices in Moldova.

Located 70 kilometers northwest of Chișinău, the monastery maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture.

The monastery grounds include a natural water spring and sits within the Codri forests, which provided shelter for religious refugees in the 18th century.
