The Transnational Route of Wooden Churches in Romania and the Republic of Moldova – A Refuge in Time

The transnational route of wooden churches in Romania and the Republic of Moldova showcases a unique cultural heritage built in wood, reflecting the spiritual, artistic, and historical identity of rural communities on both sides of the Prut River. This initiative promotes traditional places of worship, many of them historical monuments, which have withstood the test of time and continue to impress through their architectural simplicity and the beauty of hand-carved details.

The route includes churches built between the 17th and 19th centuries, set in picturesque landscapes and rich in spiritual significance.
