Sucevița Monastery is an Eastern Orthodox convent. It is known for the mural paintings on its outer walls. It was included in the UNESCO WHS list in 2010. It is one of the eight Churches of Moldavia built from 15th to 16th centuries.
Another one of those churches is the Moldovita Monastery below. It's striking resemblance made me mistake if for Sucevița.

In the second postcard isn't Sucevita Monastery, but Moldovita Monastery - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldovi%C5%A3a_Monastery . Both are part of the UNESCO WHS "Churches of Moldavia" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painted_churches_of_northern_Moldavia
