Râmeţ Monastery was built during the second half of the 14th century. During the 16th century a new building was raised, that is now a museum. The museum was established in 1968, due to the endeavours of Father Dometie Manolache, the monastery confessor, and the nun Eudoxia Manolache, his sister. They succeeded in gathering an impressive collection of glass and wooden icons, coins, rare books, and many ethnographic items. The personalities relating to the existence of the museum include: Nicolae Iorga, Vasile Drăguţ and Virgil Vătăşianu.
