Brebu Monastery, Medieval monastery in Prahova County, Romania.
The monastery features a stone church with thick walls, a bell tower reaching 27 meters, and defensive walls surrounding the entire complex.
Construction of the monastery began in 1640 under Matei Basarab's rule, with the church completed in 1690 during Constantin Brancoveanu's reign.
The interior paintings, executed in tempera by Toma Eliadi between 1837 and 1843, demonstrate Romanian religious art techniques of the period.
The monastery complex maintains regular visiting hours and includes informative panels explaining the historical significance of different architectural elements.
The royal house within the complex spans 11.8 by 30.2 meters and incorporates design elements from traditional Romanian peasant dwellings.
