Frumoasa Monastery, dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God, is in Frumoasa village, Călărași district, in the Codri hills.

From 1946 to 1994 the Soviet authorities used the buildings as an orphanage, a school for the deaf and an institution for young offenders. It reopened in September 1994. Earlier visitors included the writer Mihail Sadoveanu and Bishop Visarion Puiu.
