Turnu Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Păușa, Romania
The monastery stands at the base of Mount Cozia, along the Olt River, featuring two-level churches and multiple stone chapels within its grounds.
The original church at the entrance was constructed in 1676 on the foundation of an earlier wooden structure established by Bishop Varlaam of Ramnic.
The monastery maintained a school for church singers before 1939, demonstrating its role in preserving Romanian Orthodox musical traditions.
The monastery complex includes separate churches on each level where different priests conduct services independently throughout the day.
The site contains natural caves that hermits used for isolation, continuing a tradition of monastic solitude dating back several centuries.
