The Dragomirna Monastery (in Romanian Mănăstirea Dragomirna) is located in Romania about 15 kilometers north of the city of Suceava near the village of Dragomirna. This was founded by the Metropolitan of Moldavia and Bishop Anastasie Crimca , who, after a first small complex, had today's buildings built between 1602 and 1609.
The monastery is surrounded by 10 m high and 2 m wide walls, which were built to protect against conquerors and were completed in 1627. The 42 m high, 35 m long and 9.50 m wide church of the monastery has Romanesque , Gothic and oriental style elements. Its interior reveals wall paintings in a miniature-like style, which can be traced back to the influence of the founder Crimca, who was also a miniature painter. In the accompanying museum religious objects, precious objects, valuable are manuscripts , icons and precious miniatures from the collection of the convent issued. The monastery is currently being restored with EU funding.
