Sinaia Monastery attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Sinaia Monastery was built at the end of the 17th century to commemorate the Wallachian Duke Cantacuzino, and the town was named after the monastery. As the monastery's fame grew, approx. 70 monks resided there, necessitating an expansion in 1843. Its current size was established during the 1897 expansion, and thanks to the intervention of King Carol I, the monastery became the first holy site to have access to electricity in 1906.

Other visitors' reviews of Sinaia Monastery
Show More ReviewsThe beginnings of the Sinaia Monastery, an Orthodox Christian place of worship, around which the town of Sinaia was formed, were at the end of the 17th century. Its founder, Spătarul Mihail Cantacuzino, named it Sinaia after the name of St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai - Egypt. The large church of the monastery was built in 1843-46 and is dedicated to "St. Trinity". At the beginning of the 20th century, the construction was modified to have the architecture we see today. It should be noted that during the period when Romania was a kingdom, from the beginning until 1947, the royal house of Romania frequented this church. This explains the fact that on the western wall there are paintings of King Charles I and Queen Elizabeth with their first daughter.
