Pahomie Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Băile Olănești, Romania
The Pahomie Monastery stands on a 50-meter rock formation in Vâlcea County, featuring traditional Romanian ecclesiastical architecture and mountain surroundings.
Established in 1520 by monk Pahomie and Sava Haiducul, the monastery underwent reconstruction in 1952 after being abandoned in 1880 for several decades.
The monastery contains religious paintings executed by Stan Hermeanu in 1956 and later restored by hierodeacon Nicolae Popa in 1997.
Located 30 kilometers from Râmnicu Vâlcea, visitors can reach the monastery through DN 64A road, following the path through Păușești-Măglaș and Cheia village.
The monastery structure sits beneath an enormous rock face where the image of Christ appears naturally, with a cold mountain waterfall flowing nearby.
