Horaița Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Poiana Crăcăoani, Romania.

The monastery stands at the end of Horaița stream valley, 6 kilometers from the road connecting Piatra Neamt and Târgu Neamţ cities.

Alexandru cel Bun, ruler of Moldova, placed this religious establishment under Bistrița Monastery jurisdiction in 1428, along with 51 other churches.

The monastery features an iconostasis created in Vienna with baroque carvings and maintains neo-Byzantine painting style with red background decorations.

Twenty monks reside at the monastery under Protosing Church Vasile Rubin's guidance, participating in daily liturgical programs and maintaining the grounds.

A three-kilometer procession from Horaița Monastery to Horaicioara Hermitage takes place during The Lighted Week, accompanied by bell sounds.
