About
The Orthodox monastery church was built between 1992 and 2002. The monastery complex consists of a church, a summer altar and a chapel building. The foundation stone of the church was laid in 1992 by His Grace Serafim Joantă, then Bishop Vicar of Sibiu. The mural was painted by the artist Ovidiu Preotescu.
In 2001, the "St Iustina Welfare Association" was founded and the construction of a building for abandoned children began, which was opened in 2003, when 10 girls aged 3-10 months were brought from the Brasov orphanage. In 2004, the wooden fence surrounding the monastery was built. The first priest to serve in the convent was Gheorghe Moldovan, a priest from Prejmer.
