A convent built in 1641–1643, famous for the frescoes painted by Nicolae Grigorescu in 1858–1861; the ensemble is a listed monument (NT-II-a-A-10627). Its museum, founded in 1927, was the first monastery museum in Moldavia and displays icons, liturgical objects, embroideries, carpets and a room on classic writers linked to Agapia. In 2013 the 'Living Museum' opened in a c. 350-year-old monastic house, where visitors see a working nuns' household.
