old church
old church, quite small, nice to see when there is no important religious holiday, other wise you will have no space to admire it because of the parishioners.

Not the real one
It is an Transylvanian specific wooden church. It is well preserved and is an example of the creativity and work of the 18th century Romanians in that part of the country. The only Horea church is in the Ethnographic Museum of Cluj Napoca and it is signed by Horea. Not to minimize this one, it is a great work of art and a beautiful church. If you are in the area do not miss it.
