The lakes within the Piatra-Neamţ municipality are the Bâtca Doamnei reservoir (with an area of 255 ha and a volume of about 10 million cubic meters, formed by the dam with the same name) and Reconstrucţia lake (10 ha and 250 thousand cubic meters, out of which the hydrotechnical channel of Bistriţa), both of them being reservoirs on the Bistriţa river. Formed in 1962 by damming Bistriţa and damming on the left side of a perimeter from the main bed of this river, Bâtca Doamnei Lake soon became a refuge for the city's residents. It is mainly supplied with water from the Izvoru Muntelui lake (Bicaz), through the adduction channel of the Stejaru Hydropower Plant, to which is added the old course of the Bistriţa river, with a very low flow, as well as the Doamnă stream, a tributary right of the lake. The lake has an area of 240 hectares, a maximum width of 1050 meters, a length of 3200 meters and a maximum depth of 15 meters. It is good to know that the drinking water that the locals consume is largely supplied by the water of Bâtca Doamnei Lake.

The artistic heritage of the municipality of Piatra-Neamţ was enriched in 1924 with a tribute monument dedicated to the founders of the "Petru Rareş" High School: Ion Negre, Calistrat Hogaş and Mihai Stamatin. Their faces were fixed in bronze by the sculptor Mihai Onofrei. The Italians Carol Zani, construction contractor, and Vincenzo Puschiasis, stone sculptor, also participated in the creation of the stone sculptures that decorate the memorial monument at the "Petru Rareş" National College. He carved the background stone, carved the rectangular border decorated with two laurel wreaths and the relief profile of the goddess Athena, placed at the base of the work. The three bronze medallions, sculpted by Onofrei occupy the upper area of the composition: in the middle, viewed from the front, there is the bas-relief bust of Calistrat Hogaş, on the left, the bas-relief profile of Ion Negre and on the right the one of Mihai Stamatin. The portraits are realistic, they have expressive features, the focused looks capture the interest of the viewers. Their position and the decorative elements give rhythm and symmetry to the unitary and balanced ensemble.   The monument was inaugurated on July 26, 1926, the event being attended by numerous residents, members of the "Popular Athenaeum" association, the initiators of the project, high school students and the sculptor Onofrei. In the tribute speech, the then director of the high school, V.A. Trifu, spoke the following words: "You, the young generation, who tomorrow will support on your shoulders the heavy but expensive burden of our nation,... take an example from our ancestors...".

Tourist attraction for horse lovers, Equestrian Base "Col. Virgil Bărbuceanu" has that "something" which, for the practitioners and supporters of equestrian sports, means much more than a day spent there, it means peace, relaxation and the appreciation of the special bond between people and animals. Equestrian base "Col. Virgil Bărbuceanu" from Piatra Neamț, established in 1986, is one of the most equipped equestrian bases in the country, being chosen as the host of several stages of the World Show Jumping Cup, as well as of several national competitions. Within this equestrian base, you can practice recreational riding on well-established routes by the base staff, horseback tourism for those who have equestrian knowledge and skills, day trips on the Bâtca Doamnei - Bahrin route, leisure with the carriage both for walking and for special events, horse-drawn sleigh rides (in winter).

In addition to the construction of the "Nicu Albu" Public Garden and the transformation of the access road into a pedestrian alley, in 2023 the modernization of the viewpoint on Cozla Hill will also be completed. This has been and will become an important tourist attraction. The project for the viewpoint on Mount Cozla is in the execution phase and it is estimated that by the end of the year the project will be completed. Several works will be carried out, including a small playground (with hanging swings, climbing net) in the mezzanine, the extension of the observation area, the refinishing of the parapets and the mezzanine wall with natural stone. Also, the ambient lighting system will be restored and surveillance cameras will be installed.

The "G.T. Kirileanu" Neamţ County Library is a continuation of some old traditions (over 130 years) of public reading in Neamţ County.

The "Buna Vestire" church in Piatra-Neamţ, located on 1 Decembrie 1918 street, has a rich history of three centuries. The history of this place of worship begins in 1719, when the boyar Iordache Dărmănescu, together with his wife, Safta, built a church in the area, which originally belonged to Gârcina. Since then, the neighborhood took the name of Dărmănești. But, as a boyar church, until 1930, it was led by monks. Both founders are commemorated annually, in the Annunciation service. A lesser-known thing from this old church should be mentioned: here is the icon of the Mother of God with the Child, dressed in silver, whose first mention dates back to 1661. However, the icon is much older, and the year 1661 appears as the year in which it was performed the first miracle mentioned in the eight medallions that are on the edge of the icon. On this small icon, there was also a small medallion, which may have been made of precious metal, because it is also found written: "Imagination and measure of the holy and miracle-working icons of the Most Holy Mother of God from Caplunpvschie".

"This holy church was built through the effort and expense of Ioil, hegumen of Bisericani, 1776 - / s - Hs - Nika. " The "Assuption of the Mother of God" church in Vânătorii Pietrei is built of fir beams on a stone foundation, in a specific Moldavian style, with a cruciform plan, the side apses and that of the altar being slightly pronounced. The south porch and the pronaos that extends the nave of the church to the west are later additions, as is the blind spire with a bulbous cover, which still gives more suppleness and amplitude to the whole building. The gable roof in two pitches, with flared edges, is rounded at the apse of the altar and above the western extremity. All the apses have a pentagonal covering of boards on the outside, the spaces between the lateral sides and the apse of the altar closing at right angles. Inside, the vestibule and pronaos have a flat roof, but the nave rises through an elegant semi-cylindrical longitudinal vault, which extends to the iconostasis. The lateral apses are covered in an arch and the altar is dominated by a transverse supporting vault, towards which the ribs of a sphere segment converge. The current wooden strucure is of recent date and attracts attention through the vivacity of the colors and the expressiveness of the icons that compose it. On the other hand, the original tapestry, made together with the church in the 18th century and preserved in the Văratic Monastery Museum, is a piece of great artistic value and extraordinary beauty. Made of linden and oak wood, the old temple from Vânătorii Pietrei strictly respects the hierarchical and spatial arrangement specific to Orthodox Christian iconography, but what is striking at first sight in these paintings is the combination of different but not eclectic stylistic elements, from which resulted in a unitary assembly of certain originality. The psychology of the biblical characters emanates a certain Byzantine hieratism, the chromaticism used has that specific Renaissance inner glow, and the frequency of locally inspired secondary plans insistently refers to the frescoes from Voroneţ and Suceviţa. The wooden Church of the "Assuption of the Mother of God" in Piatra-Neamț is listed as a historical monument. The assembly has the code NT-II-a-B-10559 and consists of the following components: - The "Assuption of the Mother of God" wooden church (code LMI NT-II-m-B-10559.01) - Bell tower (LMI code NT-II-m-B-10559.01)

The Annunciation Church in Piatra-Neamț was built between 1779-1787 from wooden beams, arranged horizontally and "ended" in a dovetail, on a stone foundation and covered with thatch. In 1999, the church was relocated from Bistrița (a neighboring locality), under the care of Archimandrite Ciprian Zaharia, the abbot of the Bistriţa Monastery, on the Cozla hill, to a place where the "Draga Hermitage" was located in the past, but which burned.

At Văleni is one of the oldest and durable wooden churches from Moldova, built in the middle of dense forest, during the reign of Petru Rares, in the year 1538. It was rebuilt by Lăpuşneanu and then by Ieremia Movilă. When you step into it, is like stepping into a museum that presents an exceptional pictorial treasure. Here was a school – iconographic painting workshop. Over 100 icons coming from here, values ​​of national heritage, are in Agapia, Văratec, Neamţ and Bistriţa monasteries museums, knowing more than 150 icons whose origin refers to Văleni, not counting those scattered in private collections. Here are a few reasons why the oldest wooden church in Neamţ County, now a parish church, is worth a visit.

In the historical city center is located Royal Church "Sfântul Ioan Domnesc" that was built between years 1497 and 1498 as is mention on the inscription at the entry. Among the heritage objects from "Sfântul Ioan Domnesc" Church from Piatra-Neamț there are: Bohemian crystal chandeliers donated by Nicu Albu in 1837, icons painted by Constantin Stahie and Petre Savinescu, The Holly Evangel from Neamt Monastery from 1821, the Evangel from Sibiu from 1854, silver crosses, old books and more. "Sfântul Ioan Domnesc" Church from “Curtea Domneasca” Architectural Complex from Piatra-Neamț can be visited as a historic monument or you can attend the religious service.

Did you know that in Piatra Neamț there is a beautiful lipovan church? Its spires are so similar to those of Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. The church was built in 1818, right in the central area of today's city. Once upon a time, an important community of Lipovan Russianslived here, being among the most numerous in the area of Moldova. Close to the banks of the Bistrita river, the locals called this area the slum of lipovans. The original church was built of wood and burned down completely in 1918. Unfortunately, a second fire destroyed it in 2008. However, the community found the strength and resources to rebuild it again, and it was completed and consecrated in 2012. Currently, the community of Lipovan Russiansin Piatra Neamț is considerably smaller, counting only 150 members.

The idea of building the "Nativity of the Mother of God" Church - Precista II or The New Precista - in Piatra-Neamț appeared since 1991, considering the insufficiency of the liturgical space at the Church of the ”Assuption of the Mother of God" (Precista I or The Old Precista), inadequate for the multitude of believers present at services on Sundays and holidays. In 1993, the steps to obtain the site began, in the small park at the intersection of Decebal and Emil Costinescu streets. The consecration of the place was done by Father Archimandrite Ciprian Zaharia on May 12, 1995, together with a council of priests and numerous parishioners. On June 9, 2019, on the 7th Sunday after Easter, the place of worship was consecrated by three hierarchs of the Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church: IPS Father Teofan, Metropolitan of Moldavia and Bucovina, IPS Father Ioachim, Archbishop of Romania and Bacău and PS Father Calinic Botoșanean, then Vicar Bishop of the Archdiocese of Iasi. On this occasion, Father Dumitru Ailincăi, parish priest of the Precista II community, received from His Beatitude Father Patriarch Daniel, as a sign of gratitude for the entire activity carried out in the parish, the "Patriarchal Cross" for clergy, the highest distinction within the Romanian Patriarchate. The current capacity of the church is approximately 650 people.

The sanctification of the church took place on March 25, 1999, being done in the presence of a numerous council of priests, led by Archpriest Dumitru Ailincăi, together with Ciprian Zaharia, the abbot of the Bistrița Monastery and exarch of the places of worship throughout Neamț county.  The locals describe this place as "the church from the train station", because it is located near the Train Station, but also the starting point of the cable car from Piatra-Neamț.

In year 1930 it has began the construction of Precista Curch from Piatra-Neamț and in year 1947 this was holy by Moldova's and Suceava's Metropolitan, Irineu Mihălcescu and by P.S. Iustinian, later Patriarch of Romanian Orthodox Church. At holy service also was priest Constantin Mătasă, the one that animated the beginning and the end of this Holy Church.

Within the parish is also the former hermitage of St. Apostles Peter and Paul'', which belonged to the Bistrita Monastery, but which until 1989 was a myrrh church. The church "Saints Apostles Peter and Paul" (Doamna hermitage), is also called "the hermitage across the valley". Among the old churches that adorn the Piatra-Neamţ municipality today, there is no doubt the Doamna Church, whose immaculate walls guard a small plateau to the right of Bistriţa, under the forested foothills of Cernegura. The building impresses at first sight with its small dimensions and its simplicity, a sign that it was built to serve the needs of faith and piety of a monastic community with a small number of inhabitants. The strong walls, which sometimes exceed the thickness of 1.5 m, rise according to the usual flat plan, with well-contoured apses and which on the outside present three flat faces joined at an angle. The gabled roof, slightly flared above the apse of the altar, unfolds uniformly up to the short belfry that rises at the western extremity, above the original entrance" (M. Dragotescu - 2003). At the time of the first consecration, the church had only one room, and much later the porch on the longitudinal axis of the nave and the vestry on the southern side, next to the apse of the altar, were added.   The narrow porch is covered with a star vault supported by four pairs of ribs, which contrasts with the stylistic purity of the semi-cylindrical vault of the nave, which extends even above the altar. The lateral apses are hollowed out in the thickness of the walls, and above the exit from the nave there is a small cage that provides access to the belfry. Restored in 1991-1993, a porch was added on the southern side. The Doamna Church had no painting either inside or outside. The interior was made between 1995-1998. Above the entrance to the porch, two mosaic medallions with the portraits of the Saints Apostles Peter and Paul were recently executed. On the other hand, the tapestry, made of three cabinets of impressive proportions, showcases the entire range of sculptural motifs characteristic of a neo-Byzantine style somewhat autochthonized through the massive presence of decorative elements taken from the folk art of the Bistriţa Valley. The upper registers contain icons painted directly on the boards and the ones at the base removable icons, separated by miniature columns, artistically carved. Stylized plant motifs dominate with authority the fields between the icons and a large part of the surface of the royal doors, and the faces of the saints, painted by Mihai Zugravul, stand out through expressiveness and a happy combination of colors.   The following inscription found right on the iconostasis provides the chronological precision necessary to date this creation with undeniable artistic qualities: "This holy iconostasis was made through the diligence of His Holiness Kir Kalestru, hieromonk and priest of this hermitage, at 1802". Regarding the dating of the monument, it is difficult to specify the year of construction, given the lack of any epigraphic or documentary mention to remember it. Of great help in the approximate dating of the Doamna Hermitage is the inscription on the stone cross that has been preserved as a heritage document in the endowment of the church: "Here rests the servant of God Hieromonk Mitrofan, by whom this Holy Church is made" which indicates the date of the founder's death on December 6, 1790. It follows that the church was built before this year, probably 1789 (?), the iconostasis being installed later by the hieromonk Kalistru, the successor of the founder Mitrofan. Historian Marcel Dragotescu (2003), shows that "taking into account the specifics of Romanian hermit life and the evolution of other monastic places in Moldova and in the area, we believe that the Doamna Hermitage was built since the middle of the 18th century as a small wooden church, and later, between the years 1788-1790, the current brick church was built". In favour of this point of view are the liturgical books that have been preserved, the oldest dating from the 1760-1785 period: a Gospel printed in the 1762 period with a note written in Cyrillic letters on several pages, an Octoih edited at Bucharest in 1774 and a Triod appeared in Râmnic in 1784.  Foto & text  credit: www.monumenteneamt.ro

The bust of Elena Cuza was made of bronze by the sculptor Silviu Bejan, who studied drawing and sculpture for 10 years at the Victor Brauner Art High School in Piatra-Neamț and portrait modeling at the Vancouver Art Academy, graduate of the Institute of Art "G. Enescu" from Iasi. Elena Cuza (b. June 17, 1825, Iasi – d. April 2, 1909, Piatra-Neamț), also known as Elena Doamna, was the wife of ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza. She was born in Iasi, in the Rosetti family and died in Piatra-Neamț, being buried in Solești, Vaslui.

Victor Brauner (1903–1966) was born in Piatra-Neamț and distinguished himself, in the 1920s, as an emblematic figure of the Bucharest avant-garde. In 1933, Brauner joined the surrealist movement initiated by André Breton and in 1938 he permanently moved to Paris. Also then, the artist accidentally loses an eye and, because he had painted himself many years before in a self-portrait with an enucleated eye, he becomes the "visionary painter" of the Surrealist movement, capable of premonitions.

The construction of the cabin began in the spring of 1913 and was completed in the fall of the same year. It is the first tourist cabin built in the Eastern Carpathians. Over the years, it has been extended several times, and the accommodation capacity has gradually increased.   As a result of the severe damage of the mountain shelter during the First World War, important restoration works were carried out. On August 6, 1922, on the occasion of the celebration of Ceahlău (Mountain Day as the locals call it), the renovated cabin with approximately 30 seats was again made available to hikers, this time for a long time. 606 people were present at the inauguration. The next restoration of the cabin took place in 1946, and in 1958-1959 it was expanded to accommodate more tourists (120 places). Old rooms were completed with new ones, with stone walls fixed with mortar and electric light was introduced. In 1962, the cottage could accommodate 150 tourists at the cottages. In the years 1984-1988, the capacity and comfort conditions of the lodge increased by adding a new wing, with three levels. The cabin was recently renovated and the restaurant serves a varied meniu. Additionally, tourists can enjoy a sauna and an outdoor hot bath. 

On Ştefan cel Mare street, in front of the "Nicu Albu" Public Garden, the Neculai Albu House, built around the middle of the 19th century, is preserved. It is a one-story building, which originally belonged to C.Semaca, which is why some prefer to indicate the monument with the name of its first owner. The house stands out among the surrounding buildings through its orientation and architecture. While all the buildings are oriented east-west with the facade facing the street, the monument runs from north to south, perpendicular to the axis of the highway. In fact, this layout is an additional clue that proves the existence of a secondary street that passed in front of the house, allowing the approach "on a scale" of different vehicles. The plan of the building is rectangular and includes the existence of two functionally and constructively well-differentiated bodies: one towards the south, with arched windows on the ground floor and a pediment on the first floor, the second occupying the entire middle part of the building and, through the linear arrangement of the rooms, proves that here the entire commercial and financial activity directed by the owner was carried out. The ground floor of the main body has the appearance of a portico on whose columns rests the porch (in Romanian style) of the floor. Under this aspect, Necula Albu's house can be considered as a typical example of architectural reconciliation of the new urbanizing-modern trends with the tradition of old wooden constructions. Source of information: www.monumenteneamt.ro

 The house was built in 1898 by Dimitrie Corbu (former mayor of Piatra-Neamț in 1899, 1905, 1907 and 1913). The columns, capitals, ornamentation, tall rooms, the shape of the building itself and the shape of the roof betray an architect conquered by the Baroque style.   Luminița Moscalu, the director of the "Victor Brauner" High School in Piatra-Neamț, described the beautiful building as follows: "L-shaped ground floor building". The main entrance has a large portico, two Ionic columns, capitals with volutes, two massive pillars with two engaged columns, connected by arches in full girdle. The ornamentation of the stucco cartouches is done in roroco style. It specifies eclectic architecture with a dominant baroque". Photo & text source: www.mesagerulneamt.ro

The amphora house is located on Ştefan cel Mare street, no 14, and was built at the end of the 19th century. This is a one-story brick construction. The facade is highlighted by a sequence of voids and fills, curved and countercurved lines, wide arches. The windows are decorated with sculptural motifs, reminiscent of ancient Greek vessels. The house is typical of eclectic architecture, with dominant neoclassical and baroque elements.

The Ivaşcu wooden house was built at the beginning of the 19th century from shaped beams over which successive layers of plaster were later applied. The high foundation, made of river stone fixed with mortar, was executed with great care, thus becoming the most important element in the aesthetics of the facade and the building as a whole. The asymmetric body of the construction is fragmented by an open porch, supported by 5 wooden columns and with its own covering. Moreover, this porch, which is the characteristic element of constructions of this type, appears as a southern development of the porch with braced arches, which stretches along the entire length of the facade. The sense of asymmetry of the construction is also maintained by the entrance located on the left segment of the porch and the facade, although the main door has a central position. Finally, under the porch, the elevated entrance to the cellar opens in an arch, with doors that evoke the old medieval gates and provide the entire building with a particularly picturesque touch. Although the reed roof has been modified and the excess of plaster fades the naked beauty of the wooden walls, the Ivaşcu wooden house remains, at least as a memory, a true island of the past in the effluvium of the city's current modernization.

"In the vicinity of the Sports Hall is the house where Lady Elena lived her last years - the ideally good and modest woman who was his wife, Her Highness Elena, the companion of Cuza Vodă - as Nicolae Iorga characterized her in 1909, a month before the illness that took her life, after he had personally visited her in this house in Piatra-Neamț." describes the writer Victor Nămolaru in the book "Small tourist guide to Piatra-Neamț (1969)". The same author continued: "...in that black room, in which she could be seen at the bottom of an armchair, in a poor dress of eternal mourning, under a nun's cassock, covered with a simple woolen veil, a small figure finely carved in pale ivory - in that room there was a life that knew, read, learned, that united the entire memory of the past with the perfect consciousness of those today, it was a lonely and decent thought, it was a heart that beat for all that is noble and eyes in which the fountain of tears of those who keep alive the great pains, hidden from the world, which they do not look at, had not dried up." Elena Cuza (b. June 17, 1825, Iași – d. April 2, 1909, Piatra-Neamț), also known as Elena Doamna (Lady Elena), was the wife of ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza. She was born in Iași, in the Rosetti family and died in Piatra-Neamț, being buried in Solești, Vaslui.

Located on Ștefan cel Mare str., at no. 44,  Lalu house hosts today the Children's Palace. The beautiful building was built by the contractor Carol Zane, according to the plans of the architect Roger H. Bolomey. The name of the house comes from Dimitrie Lalu, who remained in the locals minds as "one of the most famous figures of our city... a great merchant and industrialist, who for over 40 years was active in the economic field of Piatra-Neamț and Neamț County". Coming as a young man from Greece, he settled in Piatra-Neamț, trading in wood, through an association and then on his own. He was not endowed with "a superior culture" but "endowed with a lively intelligence and vocation for trade", becoming not long after one of the biggest merchants and industrialists in the county and in the country, as recorded in the publications and documents of the time.

The Paharnicului House in Piatra-Neamț is a building with massive walls, on one level, built in the archaic style of inns with an interior courtyard of the 19th century, and it still harbors mysteries not clarified even today by German specialists or administrators. The Paharnicului House is also known as Paharnicului Inn, named after the rank of the owner, D.C. Gheorghiadis, who, according to the Official Gazette of the Principalities of Moldavia from 1853, was promoted sword keeper, and later steward, and cup-bearer.
