The UNESCO heritage wooden church of Budesti Josani was also under a process of renovation. But the true progress can be seen outside the church fence on the main street of the village. There are new administration buildings, including a huge tourist information center. Seven years ago the down street surroundings environment was more adequate with the old church. Any how this church is more remarkable than the others wooden churches from Maramures because here we have displayed part of the Pintea’s chainmail shirt. Pintea is the most important hero of the historical area of Maramures. That’s why visiting the Budesti Josani wooden church is a must.

This church is part of the wooden churches of Maramureș World Heritage Site, and it was built in 1711 and it features some of the most representative baroque indoor murals in Maramureş. It has a collection of icons painted on glass and old religious books. We arrived here after we visited the Barsana Monastery, the place where this church was first time. The church was moved few times and the place where it is now during since 1795. The mural paintings are great and were made by Toader Hodos. You will find there a lady curator who will give all the necessary and important informations about this unique monument. If you come in Barsana don't miss it.

Near the village of Barsana you will find this monastery ... a place of serenity and prayer open for visitors ... a place that somehow has a positive vibe to it. Overall an excellent place to visit , free for visiting and with free parking .... go visiting on a weekday , during the weekend there is a crowd gathering - some for the service , some just to see this place. Remember , tread lightly you are on holy grounds - so regardless if you are religious or not it is very interesting to see. For those of you interested in wood carving, architecture and arts in general for sure it is worth seeing. Historical values is almost nonexistent since is a fairly newly established monastery ... however it is definitely a must see when you are in the area. Of Course there are souvenir and religious items shops - since visiting is free of charge this a source of income - but also donations are welcome. If you are in the area, definitely stop here - it is a place of tranquility and serenity ...

This monastery is an Eastern Orthodox complex built in the past 20 years and following the rebirth of religious faith in Romania, after the fall of Communism. The monastery complex is dominated by a less traditional church, whose steeple is 78 meters high and which hosts at its lower level the actual prayer hall doubled by a souvenirs store.
