Budeşti Josani church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Budeşti Josani church stands in the village of Budeşti in the region of Maramureş, Cosău valley, in Romania. This church is representative for the characteristic wooden churches of Maramureş with double eaves. This is one of the eight wooden churches of Maramureş that have been listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in December 1999.
[edit] Construction
The wooden church from Budeşti Josani, was dated by an inscription on the portal from 1643. Unfortunatelly the inscription was lost during the enlargement of the entrance in 1923. The inscription was verified dendrochronologically and the log structure was firmly dated from the winter 1642-43, i.e. the moment the timbers were felled. This church appears to have been built by the same master carpenter who built the wooden churches from Slătioara (before 1639) and Sârbi Susani (1639).
