Horezu Monastery (also known as Hurezi Monastery) is a Romanian Orthodox nunnery located in the historical region of Valahia Mică in Vâlcea.

At the foot of the Căpățânii mountains, a massive mountain range of the Transylvanian Alps, on the territory of the Romani de Jos village, the monastery is located about three kilometers (airline) north of the small town of Horezu.

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.

At the foot of the Căpățânii Mountains, part of the Southern Carpathians, the monastery lies about 3 km north of the small town of Horezu, in the village of Romanii de Jos.

The monastery likely owes its name to the nocturnal birds of prey (Romanian: huhurezi) inhabiting the surrounding forests. It was founded in 1692 by Wallachian ruler Constantin Brâncoveanu and completed in 1709. Originally a male monastery, it became a nunnery in 1862.

The cross-shaped main church "Sfinții Împărați Constantin și Elena", built between 1693 and 1697, is 32 meters long and 14 meters high. In its porch are several graves, including a marble one with a carved cover intended for Prince Brâncoveanu, which was never used. The large iconostasis is carved from linden wood and gilded.

Situated at the foot of the Căpățânii Mountains, a mountain range in the Transylvanian Alps, on the territory of the village of Romanii de Jos, the monastery is about three kilometres (as the crow flies) north of the small town of Horezu.

The calls of nocturnal birds of prey (huhurezi in Romanian) nesting in the woods around the monastery probably gave the place its name. The monastery was founded in 1692 by the then Prince of Wallachia Constantin Brâncoveanu (1654-1714) and completed in 1709. It was a men's monastery until 1862. After the monks were transferred to Bistrita, the nuns came to the monastery. The monastery complex has been restored several times since 1827 and is a listed building.

Situated on a hill, the monastery complex is surrounded by two fortifications. The smaller outer wall surrounds the entire monastery estate with its hermits. The second is formed on three sides by buildings of different heights and a wall to the east. The entrance to the monastery is on the south side through a bell tower with a massive steel-armored wooden gate. The church of the Monastery of Saints Constantine and Helen in the centre of the complex is 32 metres long, 14 metres high and was built between 1693 and 1697. In the vestibule of the church there are several tombs, the most beautiful one decorated with marble and a carved lid, intended for Prince Brâncoveanu, but which did not fulfil its purpose and was therefore never used. The large iconostasis is carved in lime wood and covered with gold.

The square chapel with octagonal tower, whose windows are the chapel's light source, is on the west side opposite the entrance to the church and was built in 1697. The frescoes in the chapel were created between 1705 and 1706 and are still in good condition today.
