The place Muereasca was first mentioned in 1710, when two monks ( Ilarion and Ștefan ) settled on the area of ​​the municipality - the now incorporated hamlet Andreieşti . In 1727 the old stone church ( Nașterea Sfîntului Ioan Botezătorul ) was built here, which is today the cemetery church of the Frăsinei monastery, in which services are only held at funerals and on June 24th annually - on the day of inauguration.

The name of the place Muereasca was probably derived from the Romanian name muiere ( German  "woman with bad behavior" ).

Attractions

  • The orthodox monastery Frăsinei ( ⊙ ) in the incorporated village of Andreieşti was built in its current form at the end of the 18th / beginning of the 19th century and is a listed building. On May 12, 1863, the monastery of the Assumption of Mary ( Adormirea Maicii Domnului ) was consecrated. In the Romanian principality , the Frăsinei monastery was the only monastery in Romania that was not secularized . Due to the coinobitic lifestyle of the monks and the prohibition of women entering the monastery, this is unique in Romania. The Frăsinei Monastery is also known as the Romanian Athos . About two kilometers below the monastery there is a newer church and accommodation with free food and accommodation for pilgrim women. A sign stating that women are not allowed to enter the Frăsinei monastery can be seen here on the side of the road. The original stone with the reference to the entry ban in Cyrillic inscription is now in the memorial of St. Calinic , the founder of the monastery. The name Frăsinei refers to the ash forest ( Romanian Frasin ) near the monastery. The approach to the monastery is partly a steep and very stony path and when it rains heavily, landslides often occur in the region.
