Petru Vodă Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Poiana Teiului, Romania

The monastery complex includes a wooden church adorned with Byzantine paintings and architectural elements from the Maramures region of Romania.

Founded in 1991 by Father Iustin Pârvu, the monastery started as a hermitage with two monks and gradually expanded into a substantial religious center.

The monastery maintains its own publishing house, produces a magazine called Atitudini, and operates Paltin Radio for broadcasting religious services.

Visitors can access the monastery via DN 15 B road from Poiana Teiului, with the final 10 kilometers consisting of an unpaved path.

The monastery houses a laboratory that produces natural remedies, including medicinal herb preparations, creams, and tinctures for various ailments.
