Brebu Monastery

The Brebu Monastery in Romania is one of the most important architectural achievements of the rule of Matei Basarab and of Romanian art in the 17th century.

[1] The Romanian Orthodox monastery is located in the present-day locality of Brebu Mânăstirei, Prahova County, Romania.

The exterior decoration is characteristic of Wallachian architecture at that time, being fairly devoid of ornaments.

The access tower in the complex is fairly large, and is regarded as one of the most beautiful examples of such constructions found in Romania.

Part of the exterior walls of the tower were repainted by Sava Henţia at the beginning of the 20th century.
