General presentation

Monastères peints de Bucovine

Set of painted monasteries, villages, wooded hills and quiet roads to the north-east of the Carpathians.

Voroneț, Suceviśa and Moldoviśa give the most telling landmarks of painted Monasteries of Bucovine. Together, they form a destination where heritage, countryside and forests meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

See all

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: dispersed sites and winter more restrictive. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Town or village

Voroneț

4.6 / 5· Hidengo2 to 4 hrs walking · estimate

Voroneț is famous for its painted monastery, whose exterior frescoes cover the walls of biblical scenes on a deep blue. The site reads out as much as in, with a special visual force when the light reveals the details of the characters and friezes.

Town or village

Sucevița

4.5 / 5· Hidengo2 to 4 hrs walking · estimate

Sucevița combines fortified monastery, enclosure walls and exterior frescoes of great richness, in a landscape of wooded hills. The dominant green of the paintings, the superimposed scenes and the closed courtyard give the place a very different presence of Vorone.

Town or village

Moldovița

4.4 / 5· Hidengo2 to 4 hrs walking · estimate

Moldovița offers a painted monastery surrounded by walls, placed in a peaceful valley of Bucovine. The exterior frescoes mix religious scenes, processions and narrative details, while the surrounding roads cross villages, meadows and forests.
