| dbo:abstract | The Bistrița Monastery (Romanian: Mănăstirea Bistrița, pronounced [ˈbistrit͡sa]) is a Romanian Orthodox monastery located 8 km west of Piatra Neamț. It was dedicated in 1402, having as original ctitor the Moldavian Voivode Alexandru cel Bun whose remains are buried here. The church is historically and archaeologically valuable. It shows features of Byzantine architecture, is richly ornamented, with a 15th-century entrance door of fine craftsmanship and detailed frescoes. The monastery is surrounded by 4 meter high stone walls built during Petru Rareș's reign (1541–1546), the original ones being destroyed in 1538 by Suleiman the Magnificent's army. Also from the same period dates a chapel located north of the monastery.The inner court bell tower had already been erected in 1498 by Ștefan cel Mare. With his extensive restoration of the monastery in 1554, Alexandru Lăpușneanu is also considered to be a ctitor. Thus, the monastery is considered to have been donated by 4 voivodes of the Mușatin dynasty (Alexandru I, Ștefan III, Petru IV, Alexandru Lăpușneanu). A remarkable item preserved here is the miraculous icon of Saint Anne given as a present to the monastery in 1407-1408 by Voivode Alexandru I's wife, Lady Ana. According to tradition, the icon was given as a "patronage gift" to Lady Ana by empress Jelena, wife of Manuel II Palaiologos, emperor of Constantinople. The icon was restored in the 18th century and in 1853 was placed in a new section, made of carved and gilded wood, of the kliros. During the year 1855 the monastery underwent major reconstruction under the lead of the famous architect Carol Benesch. The monastery was an important cultural center for calligraphers, miniaturists and chroniclers. The monastery's museum hosts an important collection of medieval art.

Il est logé dans la vallée de la Bistrița sur les contreforts orientaux des Carpates. Il fut un centre important pour l'histoire artistique et intellectuelle du Moyen Âge moldave. Il a été fondé en 1406 par Alexandre Ier de Moldavie (Alexandru cel Bun). Il se développa ensuite sur l'initiative d'Étienne III de Moldavie (Ștefan cel Mare, Étienne le Grand) qui fit élever la tour-clocher en 1498. Pierre IV Rareș (Petru Rareș) fit reconstruire le mur d'enceinte entre 1541 et 1546 après sa destruction par les armées ottomanes de Soliman le Magnifique en 1538. En 1554, Alexandru IV Lăpușneanu fit entreprendre de grands travaux de restructuration. (fr) Монастырь Бистрица (Быстрица, рум. Mănăstirea Bistrița) — монастырь Румынской православной церкви, расположенный в 8 км к западу от Пьятра-Нямца. Церковь была освящена в 1402 году. Основан молдавским князем Александру Чел Бун, мощи которого хранятся в ней. Монастырский храм богато расписан, ценен как образец византийской архитектуры своего времени. Монастырь окружен 4-метровой каменной стеной, построенной во времена правления Петра Рареша (1541—1546), по преданию, оригинал был разрушен в 1538 году армией Сулеймана Великолепного. К этому времени относится часовня, расположенная к северу от монастыря. Во дворе находится колокольня, построенная в 1498 году Стефаном Великим. В связи с масштабной реставрацией монастыря в 1554 году строителем считается также Александру Лэпушняну. Самой чтимой святыней монастыря является чудотворная икона Святой Анны, подаренная монастырю Еленой Драгаш и присланная Григорием Цамблаком. Монастырь считается подарком православному народу Молдовы правящей династии Мушаты. (ru) |
