Curchi Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Curchi, Moldova.

The religious complex contains five churches, two monk cells buildings, living quarters, auxiliary rooms, an orchard, and a stone water reservoir.

The monastery was founded in 1775 by brothers Iordache and Mihail Curchi, who initially constructed a modest wooden hermitage in the Orhei region.

The Birth of the Virgin Mary Church displays neobyzantine architecture, while Saint Nicholas Church combines classical style with baroque architectural elements.

Located 55 kilometers from Chisinau and 12 kilometers from Orhei, the monastery houses 30 monks and welcomes visitors for religious services.

During the Soviet period, the religious complex was converted into a psychiatric hospital before returning to its original function after Moldova's independence.
