Văratec Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Neamț County, Romania
Located at an altitude of 460 meters, the monastery complex includes three churches surrounded by meadows, pine forests, and traditional monastic houses.
The monastery started in 1785 when Olimpiada and spiritual advisor Iosif constructed a wooden church dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God.
The main church combines Moldavian medieval architecture with late 18th-century influences, featuring thick walls and baroque architectural elements.
The monastery maintains accommodation facilities for visitors and provides guided tours of the religious buildings and surrounding monastic village.
The cemetery contains the final resting place of poet Veronica Micle, adding literary significance to this largest women's monastery in Romania.
