Popăuți Monastery, Romanian Orthodox monastery in Botoșani, Romania

The monastery consists of the main church, inner courtyard, and preserved earthworks located near the Botoșani train station on Stefan cel Mare Street.

The monastery was established in 1496 during the reign of Stephen the Great, strategically positioned between the royal courts of Suceava and Harlau.
