Suzana is located in the Carpathian Mountains, between the Grohotis Mountains, to the northwest, on an extension of the Bobu Mountain with the Stance River, the Teleajen River and the Clabucetul Teleajen Mountain, to the southeast, from whose chest the Iepurasul torrent springs. These streams, Stancea and Iepurasul, join together in a trinity, forming a wonderful cross of crystalline waters right in front of the monastery, from where they head downhill under a single name and a single course – the Teleajen River.     The tradition of the monastery records the formation of the Saint Nicholas Hermitage on the Teleajen River, around 1740, the founder being a wealthy Transylvanian woman from Sacele named Stanca Arsicu, a nun under the name of Suzana. This builds a church made of wooden beams, on the site of the older ruins of the Valea Caprei or Cornul Caprii Hermitage, a former metoc of the Sinaia Monastery, destroyed by the Turks at the end of the 17th century. This small wooden church, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, lasts approximately 100 years.     Archaeological research has brought to light the stone foundations, bound with weak mortar on the outside and stone with earth on the inside, of a church that could only be made of wood and therefore may be the first church of the place, the one built or repaired by Stanca Arsicu in 1740.    In 1840, the nun Suzana Albulet, according to archaeological research, carries out a repair and an extension of the old church, extended to the west with a narthex with a spire or rather with a bell tower above, under the coordination and with the support of the Most Holy Chesarie of Buzau.    Between 1875-1882, during the reign of Abbess Natalia Perlea, the current church of the monastery was built, made of river stone, in neoclassical style, with two spires on the narthex and one spire on the nave. The original painting dates back to 1882, made by the painter Petre Nicolau, restored by the painter Gheorghe Vanatorul in 1976. The epitaph is carved in cherry wood, adorned with icons painted in oil on wood.

   The chapel, dedicated to the Holy Protection of the Mother of God, dates back to 1911, built during the abbessship of Mother Tomaida Perlea, being restored between 1971-1974 with the support of His Beatitude Patriarch Justinian Marina, whom he consecrated on December 7, 1974.     The fresco was made by the painter Eremia Profeta, being restored in 2009 by the painter Dan Mihail Ivanovici and the chapel was re-consecrated by His Holiness Ciprian Campineanul in 2010 on the occasion of the feast of Saint Hierarch Nicholas.     In the Suzana Monastery Services are celebrated three times a day: Holy Liturgy, Vespers and Matins, containing the lives of 40 monks. On the first Friday of the month, the Sacrament of Holy Unction is celebrated.
