Războieni monastery, Orthodox monastery in Războieni, Romania.

The stone church of Războieni monastery features thick walls, a rectangular layout, and incorporates elements of Gothic and Moldavian architectural styles.

Stephen the Great built the monastery in 1496, twenty years after the Battle of Valea Alba where Moldavian forces faced Ottoman armies.

The monastery functions as a memorial site containing the remains of Moldavian soldiers who died defending their land against Turkish invaders.

Located 25 kilometers from Piatra Neamt and 35 kilometers from Targu Neamt, the monastery welcomes visitors interested in Romanian religious heritage.

The south wall contains an inscription in Slavonic language detailing the battle of Valea Alba, serving as a historical record from the medieval period.
