About

The monastery of Războieni was built in 1496, to honor the Moldavian soldiers who fell in the battle of Valea Albă in 1476. Then, Stephen the Great lost a lot of Moldavian soldiers and 13 of the great governors of the country. The uniqueness of the place among the foundations of the Stephen the Great lies in the fact that it is actually a mausoleum that shelters the bones of those who fell in battle under the altar and pronaos. The monastery is dedicated to the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
