The Wooden Churches of Maramureș in the Maramureș region of northern Transylvania are a group of almost one hundred Orthodox churches and occasionally Greek-Catholic ones of different architectural solutions from different periods and areas. The Maramureș churches are high timber constructions with characteristic tall slim bell towers at the western end of the building. They are a particular vernacular expression of the cultural landscape of this mountainous area of northern Romania.
