The wooden church "The Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel" from Bicaz

The wooden church "The Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel" in Ulmeni dates from 1720, being rebuilt on its current site in 1895. After the relocation, the walls of the church were plastered both inside and outside and, at the same time, the turret steeple was closed. The iconostasis and the holy doors surprise by the beauty of the paintings, which are believed to have been done by an Italian painter. *Photo credit: CJCPCT „Liviu Borlan” Maramureș, Gabriel Motica

Although its tradition dates back to the late 1600s, the wooden church in Someș-Uileac was reconstructed for the third time in 1897, belonging to the Reformed religion. The settlement is small, with a modest bell tower, with a bulbous spire, covered with sheet metal. The walls of the church are whitewashed and have no decorations. *Photo credit: CJCPCT „Liviu Borlan” Maramureș, Gabriel Motica

The wooden church “The Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel” from Orțîța was dated dendrochronologically between the years 1782-1785. Over time it went through several restoration processes. In 2007, the turret was refurbished for the second time, returning to its original shape, on which occasion the sheet metal roof was replaced with a shingled roof. The interior painting has been largely preserved, but needs restoration. *Photo credit: CJCPCT „Liviu Borlan” Maramureș, Gabriel Motica

Although its antiquity is disputed by specialists, the church "The Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel" in Buzești has been dated by inscription since 1799, being made of oak wood on a stone foundation. It is part of the layout specific to the Orthodox places of worship, with a porch, narthex, nave and detached altar. The bell tower was initially taller, but was rebuilt following a storm, and currently measures 22.3 m. The interior painting was made in the 19th century, being attributed by some to the painter Ștefan of Sișești. *Photo credit: CJCPCT „Liviu Borlan” Maramureș, Gabriel Motica

Erected around 1699 in Gârdani, the wooden church "The Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel" was relocated to Arduzel about 70 years later. Although the edifice has a small turret, it stands out through the base of the coif which is visibly extended over the pavilion. Unfortunately, the painting on the interior walls is almost completely degraded. *Photo credit: CJCPCT „Liviu Borlan” Maramureș, Gabriel Motica

Biserica de lemn „Sfinții Arhangheli Mihail și Gavril” a fost ridicată inițial în Țara Oașului, în perioada anului 1721. Lăcașul construit din lemn de stejar are dimensiuni modeste, turnul-clopotniță având de asemenea proporții reduse. Din pictura murală care împodobește pereții micuței biserici se mai disting doar fragmente. *Sursă foto: CJCPCT „Liviu Borlan” Maramureș

The apsis from Şişeşti, which was once the altar of the church dedicated to "Saints Peter and Paul", was built of oak wood in 1675. The base of the edifice is surrounded by a twisted embossed belt, while wide consoles start from the centre of the walls. Above the twisted belt there are several wooden crosses. The interior walls still show traces of the original painting.

Moved from Copalnic to Întrerâuri in 1928, the church of the "Holy Apostles Peter and Paul" was built of wood, but has the appearance of a walled church, being plastered both inside and outside. It is part of the typology of churches that are common in the Land of Chioar, having a sharp roof, a slender turret and a specific layout. *Photo credit: CJCPCT „Liviu Borlan” Maramureș

The wooden church in Vărai is believed to have been erected in 1571 and, although it is part of the architecture specific to the Chioar area, it also has a unique element, namely a porch with a gallery with its own roof truss, above which there is a turret with closed steeple. Also, the wooden church "The Holy Archangels" from Vărai also surprises by the proportions of the 40 m turret, one of the tallest church turrets in the region. The interior painting, made in neo-Byzantine style, was refurbished in 1991. *Photo credit: CJCPCT „Liviu Borlan” Maramureș
