Cernica monastery, Orthodox monastery in Pantelimon, Romania.
The complex includes three churches and three chapels constructed with brick, displaying neoclassical architecture on a peninsula surrounded by lakes.
Founded in 1608 by nobleman Cernica Stirbei and his wife Chiajna during the reign of Radu Serban, the monastery expanded through centuries.
The monastery houses a library of 15,000 volumes and operates a seminary that educated numerous Romanian Orthodox clergy members.
Located 15 kilometers from Bucharest, the monastery maintains daily visiting hours and welcomes guests for religious services and guided tours.
A 400-year-old oak tree, planted during the monastery's foundation, still stands within the complex grounds.
