Near the village of Rosiori (about 15 km south of the city of Suceava) lies the Monastery of Saint Mina. The “Saint Mina” Monastery of Rosiori is an old-style Orthodox monks’ monastery, built in 1995.

Historical chronicles mention the existence of a hermitage dedicated to the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel in the 19th century. During excavations around the monastery, the remains of monks buried here were found. Also discovered was a brick from 1864 bearing the name of a monk, Porphyr, who was buried next to the church wall.

Between 1934 and 1937, there was already a monastery here. A monk from Neamț Monastery, Protosinghel Gamaliil, established a new monastic settlement on the site of the ruins of the former hermitage.

We thank Mr. Daniel Sippel for sending these impressive pictures.

It was built between 1873 and 1883 by order of King Carol I of Romania and was confiscated by the communist regime in 1947. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, Peles was returned to the former King Michael, who was living in exile in Switzerland.

The bay windows and half-timbered walls are reminiscent of Hohenzollern Castle, the king’s homeland. Seven terraces surround the castle. Part of the 160 rooms can now be visited. The castle museum houses weapons, sculptures, furniture, and decorative objects from the 15th–19th centuries, as well as an orchestrion. The castle is especially impressive for its magnificent woodwork.
