According to a local legend, the wooden church dedicated to the "Assumption of the Virgin Mary" in Săcălășeni dates from 1442, being rebuilt in the 17th century. However, dendrochronological studies revealed that it was erected on the current site between 1723 and 1725. The edifice surprises by its impressive proportions, but also by the thickness of the beams and the very high bell tower. Inside, visitors can admire murals made in 1865. However, they are in an advanced state of degradation. *Photo credit: CJCPCT „Liviu Borlan” Maramureș, Florin Pop

Ridicată în anul 1720 pe un deal din partea de vest a satului, Biserica de lemn „Sfinții Arhangheli Mihail şi Gavril” din Culcea este constituită din pridvor, pronaos, naos și altar poligonal. Acoperișul este șindreluit, iar turnul cu turla conică este amplasat deasupra pronaosului. Din păcate, pictura interioară se află într-o stare de degradare avansată, motiv pentru care nu poate fi restaurată. *Sursă foto: CJCPCT „Liviu Borlan” Maramureș, Florin Pop
