Nicula Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Nicula, Romania
The monastery features a stone church constructed between 1875 and 1879, with two 25-meter spires added to the structure in 1905.
The first documented mention of the monastery dates to 1552, though local tradition traces its origins to a hermit named Nicholas in 1326.
Each year on August 15, the monastery hosts a major Orthodox pilgrimage celebrating the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, drawing thousands of worshippers.
The monastery maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the year, with increased activity during major Orthodox religious celebrations.
The monastery houses a renowned icon painted by Luca of Iclod in 1681, which according to Austrian officers shed tears for nearly a month in 1699.
