      The spectacular monastery complex of Bârsana in northern Romania was built in the 1990s using the famous traditional wooden construction method and is now one of the most beautiful oak buildings in the country.

      The Mănăstirea Bârsana, the impressive monastery complex in the town of Bârsana in northern Transylvania, is one of the most beautiful and remarkable wooden buildings in Romania.

      It was not until 1989 that the decision was made to revive the tradition of old monastic life in Romania and from 1993 onwards the new monastery complex of Bârsana was built - in traditional style, made entirely of oak and river stones and by regional craftsmen. The result is a modern yet historical masterpiece of Romanian wooden architecture, which has been used as a Romanian Orthodox nunnery ever since.
