Maramureş wooden churches
The Maramureş wooden churches in Northern Transylvania are a selection of eight examples of different architectural solutions from different periods and areas. They are narrow but high timber constructions with characteristic tall, slim clock 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.
They have been listed by the UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.fr:Églises en bois de Maramures ro:Biserici de lemn din Maramureş
