UNESCO WHS - Church of Saint Nicholas in Budesti Postcard

UNESCO WHS Serie - World Heritage Sites in Romania Wooden Churches of Maramureşa - Biserici de lemn din Maramureș - Church of Saint Nicholas in Budești - These 8 churches are outstanding examples of a range of architectural solutions from different periods and areas. The Maramureș 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. The wooden church at Budești Josani was dated by an inscription on the portal from 1643. Unfortunately the inscription was lost during the enlargement of the entrance in 1923. The inscription was verified dendrochronologically and the log structure was firmly dated from the winter 1642–43, i.e. the moment the timbers were felled.
