Izbuc Monastery, Romanian Orthodox wooden church in Bihor County, Romania.

The monastery contains a wooden church with a pyramidal tower, standing on stone foundation blocks and featuring three distinct sections: altar, nave, and narthex.

The wooden church, constructed in 1696, was relocated from the Beiuș courthouse courtyard to its current location at Izbuc Monastery in 1954.

The interior showcases Romanian Orthodox architectural elements, including carefully positioned windows that illuminate the altar space from the eastern direction.

Visitors can access the church through a carved wooden door, leading into a space with wooden flooring and traditional religious artworks.

The monastery originated after scientist Simion Mehedinți discovered a natural spring in 1924, prompting him to propose establishing a religious site.
