Suzana Monastery, documented in 1740, was built on the foundation of another church, rebuilt in 1840 by abbess Suzana from Săcele, Brasov county. The present building of the big church dates from 1880 - 1882, the original inscription from 1882. The precinct is made up of cells representing valuable homestead types, specific of the Teleajen Valley. Repairs were undertaken in 1965, 1974, 1975. The exhibits include mediaeval art items from the 18th - 19th centuries: altar crosses, votive lights, embroideries, garments, wooden and glass icons from Nicula, Făgăraş, and Olt centres; rare Romanian books; personal belongings of the writer Liviu Rebreanu's family.
