Condrița monastery

Condrița monastery is an Orthodox religious complex in a Moldovan village comprising two main churches: Saint Nicholas Church and the Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God with its underground crypt. The grounds feature several connected structures arranged around a central area forming a unified sacred site.

The monastery originated around 1783 as a branch of Căpriana monastery and became independent in 1918 after separating from its parent institution. It ceased operations during the Soviet period and was subsequently restored.

The monastery functions as a gathering place for local Orthodox worshippers who observe religious traditions and celebrations throughout the year. The spaces are filled with religious icons and decorations that reflect Eastern Orthodox customs.

The monastery welcomes visitors throughout the year and features accessible pathways to the grounds and buildings. Regular religious services take place at scheduled times, so checking hours in advance helps plan your visit appropriately.

The 1993 restoration project used traditional local craftsmanship that blended Moldovan building traditions with Orthodox design while preserving original materials. This careful reconstruction work has maintained the complex's authentic appearance as it stands today.
