The Wooden Churches of Maramures is a World Heritage site in Romania defined by the UNESCO in 1999 and definitely a recommended cultural sightseeing location.
It is on position 364 (469, 168) in our monthly survey..

"These eight churches are outstanding examples of a range of architectural solutions from different periods and areas. They show the variety of designs and craftsmanship adopted in these narrow, high, timber constructions with their characteristic tall, slim clock towers at the western end of the building, either single- or double-roofed and covered by shingles. As such, they are a particular vernacular expression of the cultural landscape of this mountainous area of northern Romania."
