The Monastery of Bosie is situated on two levels, approximately 15 and 25 meters above the Răut River. It is part of the first cave complex in Orheiul Vechi, located to the extreme north of the row of caves, about 500 meters east of the church of Saint Mary. These spaces, believed to have been carved into the limestone rocks during the early Christian era, were possibly created by ancient Thracians or other prehistoric tribes for defense or spiritual purposes. The complex has suffered significant degradation over time due to historical weathering and natural disasters, including earthquakes. However, it remains an important component of the museum complex in the Răut valley. The ensemble is notable for the presence of 9 medieval inscriptions, believed to have been written over older texts from the 15th and 16th centuries. One of the inscriptions, written in Slavonic, mentions that the monastery was built by Bosie, a servant of God and priest of Orhei, along with his wife and children, in the year 7173 (1665). Another inscription in Romanian, using Cyrillic characters, records the names of Vasile Adeescul and Razmerita Leca, stating that they ruled in Ukraine and were in charge of the monastery in the year 7198 (1689), November 20. Some researchers speculate that Bosie may have only restored the nearby degraded monastic complex due to the fragility of the limestone rocks. The monastery consists of eight caves, with some of them interconnected. The cave church measures approximately 6 meters in length and 4.5 meters in width. Inscriptions on the rocks mention the presence of hieromonks Teofil Varlaam and Poenachie from Cotelnici. An icon, installed in 1772, was once present at the entrance of the monastery. Throughout the site, enigmatic signs, archaic crosses, and Cyrillic letters can be found on the stone walls, indicating that this place was used for rituals even before Pârcălabu Bosie's initiative.
