The Văcărești Monastery also known as the Prison of Văcărești was a religious architectural ensemble formerly located in Bucharest, Romania. It was built by Romanian Phanariot ruler Nicholas Mavrocordatos between 1716 and 1736 in the Brâncovenesc style and demolished between December 11, 1986, and early 1987 by the order of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu.
