Wooden
churches are true technical and artistical masterpieces,
built by masters from Maramures, internationally renowned for
their craftsmanship. Representative for Maramures is the wooden

from Sapanta is characterized by the macabre humour used in the
texts that accompany the crosses of the tombs.
