Bals monastery was built by the nobleman Grigorie Bals in 1776, but that very year it was set on fire, being on the border of estates, which created conflicts. The present church was built by Lascar Sturdza and Yevgenia Ursachi in 1819 but was closed in 1870 by nobleman Mavrocordat. It was reopened from 1945 to 1959, when it was closed. It reestablished in 1990.
