We admire the traces of the craftsman’s effort, the stitching points or the traces of hammer blows – in contrast to the standardized and impersonal, industrially produced objects that surround us at every step today.
For the decorations of Vatra Inn, we had the great chance to find skilled craftsmen in the village: carpenters, blacksmiths, weavers. Thus, our choice was very easy: we combined the authentic furniture, made of solid oak wood with hinges, lamps and hand-forged iron cornices. We dressed the beds with handmade fabrics with local motifs, geometric shapes, in natural colors.
Last but not least, appreciating the mastery of the potters from Horezu, we imitated their way of displaying the plates on the walls – have you discovered them?

In his first will, Sandu Bucsenescu, the founder of several holy places, writes that he built this church, he painted it and endowed it with „ holy vessels and priestly garments ” and with earth. In his second will, written on December 6, 1760, the founder expressed his desire for a school for poor children to be established in the cells of the monastery. The work began in 1752-1753 and was completed in 1762 under the abbot Nikodemus Beligrad, and the school began to function.
The complex of the monastery consists of a slightly trapezoidal complex, fortified, in the middle of which there is a triangular church with a narrow rectangular narthex. Later, an open porch with six decorated columns was added to the capitals and three-leaf arches. On the north side of the complex was the courtyard, a rectangular building with remarkable vaulted cellars. In the western part of the complex is the bell tower, which also served as a gate tower, with three large silver bells from the Wilhelminian era.
The spiritual life of the hermitage developed under the auspices of the time, initially a monastic settlement. In 1864, the dedicated hermit church „ The three Hierarchs ” was briefly transformed into a parish church and monastic life was resumed. Since 1948, the hermitage has been without monks and has again been transformed into a church for parishioners.


For private parties, trips with friends to the mountains, classes, team building meetings or just for relaxation. Nearby you will find many destinations worth visiting, such as the Hurezi Monastery ( Horezu Monastery ).

The cries of nocturnal birds of prey (Romanian huhurezi) that live in the surrounding forests of the monastery probably gave the name of the place. The monastery was founded in 1692 by the then prince of Wallachia Constantin Brâncoveanu (1654-1714) and was built in 1709 until 1862 it was a human monastery. After the monks were transferred to your Bistrita, the nuns came to the monastery. The monastery complex has been restored several times since 1827 and is under conservation.
On a hill the monastery complex is surrounded by two fortifications. The exterior of a smaller wall surrounded the entire estate of the monastery with its hermits. The second consists of three parts of different buildings and a wall to the east. The entrance to the monastery is in the south part of a bell tower, armored with a solid wooden steel gate. The church of the monastery of Saints Emperors Constantine and Helen, built in the middle of the complex in a cross shape, is 32 meters long and was built between 1693 and 1697. Brâncoveanu, however, did not fulfill its purpose and, therefore, was never used. The large iconostasis is carved in lime wood and wrapped in gold.
The square chapel with octagonal tower, whose windows are the light source of the chapel, is located on the west side opposite the entrance to the church and was erected in 1697. The frescoes of the formation were created between 1705 and 1706 and are still in good condition today.
