Vodita monastery, Orthodox monastery in Mehedinți County, Romania
Located near the village of Vârciorova, the Vodita Monastery consists of an abbey, refectory, and church built along the Danube riverbanks.
Saint Nicodemus established this monastery between 1370 and 1372 under Prince Vladislav I, making it the first documented monastic settlement in Romania.
The monastery preserves Romanian Orthodox traditions through its architecture, religious practices, and monastic life that continues since its reconstruction in 1991.
Visitors can reach the monastery by following the road from Drobeta-Turnu Severin to Orșova, with parking available near the entrance.
The Duhovna Hill vineyards, planted by Saint Nicodemus himself, produced wines that led to the creation of a water pipeline system for the monastery.
