Hadâmbu Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Schitu Hadâmbului, Romania

The monastery complex includes a fortified stone church with Gothic frames and defensive walls situated 30 kilometers from Iasi city.

Greek nobleman Iani Hadambul established the monastery in 1659 after receiving land from voivode Gheorghe Ghica in the forests near Iasi.

The monastery houses ten monks who maintain daily religious services and preserve traditional Orthodox practices in the Moldavian architectural setting.

Visitors can access the monastery through a 17th-century entrance tower and explore both the original church and the new marble-floored structure.

The monastery contains a renowned icon of the Virgin Mary with Child, donated in 1938, which according to records produces sacred oil.
