No doubt its a beautiful place, but was surprised its only 30 or so years old.Seems a lot of oppulance considering you drive through streets of people who struggle to make a penny as we all do.Didnt go in the gift shop selling all things god but noted it was the only shop in Romania I encountered where face masks not required by staff or customers! (Aug 21) perhaps they have divine protection.In the car park the nuns are making nice placinta! Though expensive in comparison to elsewhere.Really good to drive through the district of maremoresh (spelling Apology) noting the wonderful wooden gateways.Locals clearly proud of them and should be
Beautiful wood work, tidy&nice garden.A place to relax and be with yourself, so ideally reserve more time for this. Must visit for people who appreciate this
Almost no-one was wearing a mask. None the less the nuns that live there full time and see so many tourists every day. Absolutely disgusting that people here have so less consideration for anyones health
The place is beautiful, the buildings and courtyard are immaculate. The architecture is spectacular. Definitely go visit if you are in the area
Gorgeous tradional wood buildings and church.
A very popular monastery in Maramureș. It definitely worth a visit.
Very nice paceful place.
Beautiful site to visit. Enjoyed the calm and relaxing walk in a flowery gardens and impressive new and antic buildings.
Peace on earth
Very beautiful place
Beautiful and quiet. Clean and well maintained. Make sure to visit right before dusk, the light is amazing.
One of the best tourist objectives in Maramures. The place is truly impressive and not to miss if you are in the area.

Great place to visit and relax with your family and friends. The church is old and rustic and the surrounding area is very well kept with a relaxing vibe. Unfortunately, due to Covid regulations we could not visit the churches tower, but we still enjoyed the sight
Great place..unique and peaceful.
The monastery is amazing, it is so beautiful that it gives you the impression that you live in a fairy tale.
Quite place in the mountains!
Its a nice place where you can relax and escape for some time from the hustles of life. Here you can experience a godly atmosphere, which can give you a sense of contentment and a drive to rejoice the simple things more than before. Heavenly vibes!
Very beautiful and quiet place, you can buy different religious souvenirs. In a sunny day you can spend lots of time surounded by flowers and nice view.The only negative point is that there arent many banks
Lovely place. Beautifully maintained property, with a very authentic feel.
One of the nicest example of wooden Maramureș arhitecture. The entrance is free, and you may visit the church and other buildings in the complex, including a very beautiful garden. At the entrance you may find o food court (even a building where you may find food cooked by the monastery at a very reasonable price)
Magnificent place
Cool
Great view.
Its a beautiful place but theres no regard for anti Covid rules.For example there are water fountains with cups for people to use..The majority of people dont wear masks and the staff doesnt care.
Beautiful place with amazing views. Quiet and harmonious.
Its the most beautiful Monastery Ive ever seen, the only thing I dont get it is why they have the All seeing eye in Church, I havent saw it in any other one
An great Orthodox Monastery, a complex and a real pearl of Maramures, people say that is the most beautiful monastery in the area, a place for spirituality and contemplation. You are amazed by the beauty of the landscape, the woodcraft and the woodwork that is decorating the surroundings, the buildings and the cemetery. You have to see it and feel it in order to understand, a great spiritual stop and after you visit, or before, you can eat at the restaurant that you find just at the entrance. Great food cooked after recipes hold by the monastery. There is a museum with an exhibition and some of the items can be bought. at the entrance of the museum, you can find a gift shop with plenty of souvenirs from the area. Highly recommend..
VERY beautiful and absolutely stunning views. The gardens are maintained splendidly and there are so many flowers ! A must see in Romania !!!
Amazing architecture and a touching tribute to centuries of tradition and all the lost churches over the years. Grandiose, solemn and very moving. The very soul of Maramures shines here.
Very piecefull place. Gave us so much positive energy which you at this time need and miss. Thanks a lot.
Its a great place.
Very clean and beautiful place!
Very nice place but very an friendly noses.
Outstanding, a must see cultural monument. Pristine and probably unique
Impressive place, seems like a well maintained complex.
Heavenly place, even if you are not a religious person, you will enjoy it. Its well taken care of and the view from up there is great.
The wooden and stone buildings, the interior gardens, the small museum, the placement of the Monastery, everything is absolutely beautiful. This is a place that will give you a peaceful feeling, even if you are not a religious person.
Very beautiful place... Nice, old monastery with lovely paths and gardens
Very beautiful and well kept. Worth a visit. Great views all around.
Magic.
Nice place. Great view
The best monastery Ive seen so far. Perfect location, super wooden buildings.
Wonderful quiet place , a place you have to see it once in your life !
Good place to visit.
Fantastic place to pray , living house of God! Best time to visit is Sundays or during the week at the morning or evening service. IT is than that you can pray together with the nuns and the people gathered there to be with God!
Beautiful monastery complex, complete with a museum/shop, free parking and a pastry shop. A third is restricted to visitors.
A wonderful place that you should not miss when visiting Maramures.
Beautiful wooden monastery.
Amazing place, amazing culture and arhitecture. I recommend this place for anyone, despite of disbelief of religion.Its a true authentic historical and cultural place that you can see in the Maramures County.Full of flowers, usually crowded.
This monastic complex is truly impressive. There is a wooden church, a 3 stories museum and other nice buildings in traditional architecture. The views are stunning.
Worth a visit for beautiful architectural style. Avoid holidays as it could be too crowded.
Beautiful place, worth a visit.
A wonder of true traditional craftsmanship, a time travel to times when traditions and culture bonded communities and differentiated folks by their traditions. A must do if in Maramures.
Beautiful, stop by if you can, its also free to visit.

A lovely place to visit.
The Bârsana Monastery is situated in a very beautiful and pitoresc place in Maramureș, România. This old Monastery is welcome preserved taking in consideration the fact that is made from wood and the climate is very harsh to wood in these parts. Here you can see the beautiful wood pieces man made. The contrast between old and new is very present here and most of the time you feel like back in time. The impact of technology evolution is minimal here thing that I found very pleasing. The mood of the place is calming and relaxing due to the fact that the people are so pleasing and so calm. The wood churches are old but very well built and even in high wind they seem to still. The air is very clean here and in the spring time it starts to bee very full of odors from the multitude of flowers that are being planted here. I like coming here because of the tranquility and the silence this place has to offer. If you come here when there is some kind of manifestation you come be very good impressed by the clothing of the people and the way they do the things here. I recommend this place if you have the chance to be near.
Just wonderful and so spiritual:)
A magical place!
One of the most beautiful monastery from Maramureș. A must go if you are in the area.
Lovely place to visit.
Excellent !
Incredible place where the wood is omnipresent. Very flowery and peaceful
Now this place is worth to visit, it is beautiful, it is spiritual. It gives you a worw filling to be there....
The most beautiful and peaceful place I have ever been
Its a really beautiful place!
Amazing place
Beauty all around.
Amazing monastery, quite impressive.
Even though the place is brand new, they did manage to stick to the actual local wooden architecture. So the whole thing looks aestethically nice. Still it is mainly a tourist attraction. So its crowded.
Nice beautiful place.
Lovely place!! Dont miss it when you visit Maramures!
Lovely place to visit.
Get a pause. Reserve few hours for this Monastery. A silent place, flowers, a museum with a lot of history of this place, old icons and a beautiful church. You will not regret it. Highly recommended (mostly in the weekdays).
