Noul Neamț Monastery (Romanian: Mănăstirea Noul Neamț) is an all-male Moldovan Orthodox monastery located in Chiţcani, near Tighina, geographically in Basarabia, but controlled by the breakaway Transnistrian authorities. It is also known as Chițcani Monastery.

Overview
The name (which means "New Neamț" in English) signifies that the monastery is a successor of the Neamț Monastery in Romania (medieval Moldavia).
The monastery was founded in 1861, when several monks from the Neamț monastery left and founded Noul-Neamț in Chițcani. The founding of the new monastery was a protest against the measures taken in United Principalities of Romania to confiscate monastery estates and forbid the usage of Slavonic language in worship.[1]
On 16 May 1962 Soviet authorities closed the monastery; the buildings became a hospital.
The monastery church was reopened in 1989, followed in 1991 by the Romanian-language school for Orthodox priests.[2]
