Archimandrite Dometie Manolache (1937 - 1975) was, according to Father Dumitru Stăniloae, "a faith hero, a great godly soul". He graduated brilliantly from the Buzău Theological Seminar in 1945, and in 1949 he became a theology graduate. In 1975, he obtained the title of doctor, a month before his death. He boosted monastery life in Transylvania, as there religion was not flourishing like in Muntenia and Moldova. Father Diometie's life is closely linked to the Râmeţ Monastery community (in 1959 he was appointed confessor-priest). He was a remarkable theologian, confessor priest, endowed with excellent household abilities. The museum was established by the broth...ers of Father Dometie in 2001. The building was Father Dometie's native home. It should be mentioned that only two rooms host the collections, as the exhibition space is about 25 sq.m. The exhibits include family photographs of the Father's, diploma copies, books on his life, a priestly garb, icons, and craftsman's items.
