Agafton Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Agafton, Romania
The Agafton Monastery stands as a wooden church structure displaying traditional Romanian Orthodox architectural elements in the heart of Botoșani County.
The establishment of Agafton Monastery in 1740 marked the beginning of an enduring religious presence in the northeastern region of Romania.
