Nămăeşti Monastery

Nămăeşti Monastery is situated in a picturesque area, an area with ancient historical traces, very close to Campulung Muscel city, at an altitude of almost 760 meters, in Nămăeşti village, Arges county.

The church of the Namaiesti monastery is buil in the rock in the mountain rock. Historical documents about the village of Namaiesti and the monastery of Namaiesti mark the years 1503-1547 in the rulers of the rulers Radu the Great and Mircea Ciobanul.

The church of the monastery is considered a historic monument from the 14th century.
Exact dates regarding the founding of the monastery and the church dug in stone are not known.
However, the legends delivered orally, from the ancestors, in the village of Namaiesti, even mention the name of the prince Negru Voda.

All the tradition tells us about the anonymous founder of the church: It is said that a shepherd crows the sheep by the side of the place. Going to the rock where the church was then digged, the shepherd stopped at the foot of the mountain, at the edge of the forest, on this large stone, remaining with the sheep here overnight. The shepherd appeared to him in the dream of the Mother of God who said to her, “Get up, dig under you and find an icon in a stone church.”
