At a height of around 400 m up a rivulet in the eastern Stanisoarei Mountains, once you leave the copper woods, you will see the silver forest, which is shining from afar and you hear its enticing call, the silver forest neighboring the monastic establishment.
Upon the foundations of an earlier establishment made by Ieremia Movila after 1580, prioress Olimpiada started there a monastery between 1781-1785, around a small wooden structure.
The big church, built between 1808-1812, blends the tradition of Moldavian construction with the features of the contemporary neo-classicism; the painting was made in 1882. The monastic compound includes the churches dating from 1844 and 1847 as well as the chapter, 1850, in the campanile.
The Old Art Museum has on display the epitaph embroidered by Smaranda Neculce in 1798, the surplice from 1807, icons from Rasca and Valeni-Piatra Neamt, the 15 th – 17 th centuries.
The statue of Safta Brancoveanu stands near the tomb where Veronica Micle rests in peace.
