Old Wooden Church Stock Photo

The Wooden Churches of MaramureÈ™ in the MaramureÈ™ region of northern Transylvania are a group of almost one hundred Orthodox churches, and occasionally Greek-Catholic ones, of different architectural solutions from different periods and areas. The MaramureÈ™ churches are high timber constructions with characteristic tall, slim bell towers at the western end of the building. They are a particular vernacular expression of the cultural landscape of this mountainous area of northern Romania.
