Rohia Monastery

Named after Saint Anne, it is located in the northwestern part of Romania, in Rohia, a village administered by Târgu Lăpuș town in Maramureș County.

The initiative for founding it came from the priest Nicolae Gherman (1877-1959), whose daughter Ana died in late 1922 at the age of 10.

Inspired to start a monastery in her memory, he began work the following year, assisted by hundreds of volunteers.

Bishop Nicolae Ivan blessed the monastery in 1926, on the feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God, to which the establishment was dedicated.

Thus, it became among the first monasteries built in the region following the union of Transylvania with Romania, but remained a skete for many years due to its inaccessibility.
