Neamt County has its name from an old Teutonic knight settlement in the year 1200. These knights are also responsible for the initial building of Neamt Fortress.
Neamt County is compared to a mountain nest that was often used during history as a retreat place during times of war. This is also the place where many monks seek refuge in the surrounding mountains and where many monasteries were built.

In this region ruler Stefan cel Mare enforced Neamt Fortress, built the Royal Court form Piatra Neamt (Curtea Domneasca) and many religious settlements. Neamt County is also the place where traces of the Cucuteni civilization were uncovered and Dacian fortresses. All these findings are testimonies of the old historic origins of people in these parts.

Traces of history can be seen in the museums from Neamt County: the History and Archeology Museum from Piatra Neamt, the Cucuteni Museum from Piatra Neamt, the History and Ethnography Museum from Bicaz, the History Museum from Roman and the History and Ethnography Museum from Targu Neamt.

We invite you to visit these locations and witness a glimpse of our history.
