Poiana Mărului Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Băltăgari, Romania

The monastery stands at the foot of Mount Ulmușoru, featuring a cross-shaped main church with an open porch and six wooden pillars.

Constantin Mavrocordat founded the monastery in 1730, with the original wooden church burning in 1771 and being reconstructed between 1780 and 1784.

The interior paintings are executed directly on wood in a neo-Byzantine style, displaying religious artworks created by renowned artist workshops.

The monastery is accessible through roads starting from Râmnicu Sărat or Buzău, following route DJ204C across the Râmnicu Sărat river ford.

The monastery includes a wooden bell tower from 1935, and the main church features hexagonal towers with detailed iron window decorations.
