Coșula Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Coșula, Romania.
Coșula Monastery is a church building in Botoșani County with painted exterior walls that display traditional Romanian Orthodox religious art. The structure dates to the 16th century and preserves decorative frescoes on its outer surfaces.
The monastery was founded in 1535 by the great treasurer Mateiaș during a period of significant ecclesiastical development in the Moldavian region. This founding was part of a broader wave of monastic construction that shaped the religious landscape of the area.
The monastery walls display frescoes showing religious scenes that reflect the Orthodox artistic tradition of the region. These painted exterior surfaces reveal how faith and artistic expression have remained connected throughout the centuries here.
The site is accessible by a county road that branches off from the main highway DN 28 B and leads toward the village. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the painted walls are fully visible in daylight.
This monastery stands out as the only one in Botoșani County with painted exterior walls that have endured over time. This distinction makes it a visual marker of artistic traditions that are less visible elsewhere in the region.
