In northern Romania, at the Ukrainian border, lies the county of Maramures. Here, amidst mountains, hills and depressions are one of the most interesting tourism objects in the country, yet very well kept. Here, people lead their lives as authentically and peacefully as in the old times.
Created in post-Communist years on the site of a church abandoned in 1790, the Bârsana complex has become a significant cultural and religious attraction. Its 57 meter-tall (180 feet) spired church was reputedly the tallest wooden structure in Europe before the Sapanta Peri monastery was belt. The church was manually carved by some of the most talented craftsmen from Maramures. No power tools or nails were used to put this impressive construction together.Mănăstirea „Soborul Sfinţilor 12 Apostoli” din Bârsana

Garden elements incorporate many styles, from artificial fish ponds with walking bridges to gazebos covering a holy water spring (which takes full advantage of modern technology to pump the sacred water from facetted spouts.)
Glimmering with gold finished frescoes, the basement of the new church is where a lone priest gives daily services to resident sisters and visiting Romanians.
