Râșca monastery, Religious complex in Suceava County, Romania
The monastery consists of a church with a chancel, naos, pronaos, and a small open porch on its western section, displaying traditional Moldavian architecture.
Prince Petru Rareș established the monastery between 1541 and 1546, with subsequent construction phases adding the western section from 1611 to 1617.
The interior frescoes, completed between 1552 and 1554, demonstrate the artistic evolution from Stefan's reign through Bishop Macarie's supervision.
Visitors can reach the monastery at Râșca village in Suceava County, with guided tours available through advance arrangements at +40 745 546101.
The entrance placement in the center of the south façade sets this monastery apart from other religious structures of its period.
