The Rasca Monastery is at about 18 km far from Falticeni. The tradition says that first a little wooden church founded by Bogdan I was brought at Rasca from Bogdanesti village. In 1542, Petru Rares raised the stone wall church on its foundation. Of the former frescos, only a painting of Petru Rares, his wife Elena and two of his sons has remained.

The monastery represented a major cultural centre where Macarie, the bishop of Roman, wrote his chronicle. His tomb is sheltered inside the church, near the tomb of Anastasia, Alexandru Lapusneanu's mother.

A stone wall with two towers surrounds the monastery. At Mihail Sturdza's order, Mihail Kogalniceanu was imprisoned in the Eastern tower for several months. is at about 18 km far from Falticeni.
