In the forests that covered the hills along Moldovita Valley as well as Cimirna rivulet, lived since the 14th century many hermits. They arose a small wooden church. Around it rose hermitages setting up a new monachal collectivity. This receusory will be extended by Roman Musat Voivode. A muniment tells us that the "new monastery" ruined for the slippery soil. These ruins may be seen today not far from the monastery of Petru Rares Voivode erected in 1532. Today the most precious "worship object" is "The Golden Apple" - the distinction offered by "The International Association of Journalists and Writers for Tourism" for the high artistic value of these medieval art monuments from this side of the country.
