Rogoz: Biserica Sfinții Arhangheli Mihail și Gavril
Wooden church of Rogoz, “Holy Archangels Michael & Gabriel”, built in 1663.
Historical Monument recorded as World Heritage Site, code 904.
The church is located in Lapus Land, on the Lapus Valley and was built in 1663 by the village community, on the site of an older church burnt by Tartar invaders. In 1785 it was painted by the painter Radu Muntreanu and Nicolae Man.
Interior-wise, the master beams, main beams of the vault’s arches and the brackets are decorated with the motif of the rope.
The building’s Paintings contribute essentially to the special value of this monument. Being related to the iconography and style of Radu Munteanu’s work in Desesti-Maramures, the painting impresses with the decorativism of the ensemble, drawing with thick, even lines and bright chromaticity.
