Wooden church - Reghin

The wooden church of Reghin, built from non-varnished wood beams (1744), were the scholar Petru Maior ministered between 1785-1808, which is a proof of art craftsmanship and of rural traditional art, is characterized by its unique plan of the five sided apse.

It has been renovated during the years 1760, 1857, 1957, 1982. Into the altar are paintings of folk/popular nature and temple (iconostasis) icons from 1857. The curch has 15 meters length, 6 meters width and 14 meters height. The wooden church is on the new list of the historical monuments.

Inside, the mural painting from the altar apse performed around the year 1791, is signed by ”Toader zugravul (the painter)”. Stylistically speaking, the painting can be framed in the romanian byzantine tradition, also having a strong influence of local folk/popular art. It is known that Toader zugravul (the painter) was influenced by the Feisa School.

There is no fee for visitors, access can be made daily, the preist is also the guide of the church.
