Hîncu Monastery

The cemetery is abandoned and some parts are overgrown. The territory is used for livestock grazing. There are 150 old and 50 new tombstones. This cemetery was also used by the Nisporeni Jewish community. It seems that a part of the cemetery located outside of the current fenced area has been demolished and transformed into a garden and a pigsty.

Căpriana monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in Moldova, mentioned for the first time in the 1420s. Having the status of a royal monastery, the monastery establishment has benefited from the care of several rulers of Moldova including Stephen III of Moldavia (1457-1504), Petru Rareș (1527-1538). The first stone church, dedicated to the Assumption, was built during the reign of Alexander the Good, around 1425. In 1840, a second church of the monastery was built, dedicated to Saint George, and in 1903 a third church was dedicated to Saint Nicholas. In 1962, the monastery was closed: a sanatorium for children with tuberculosis was opened in the cells. It was only in 1989 that the monastery reopened.
