St. Archanges Michael and Gabriel, Breb

The "St. Archanges Michael and Gabriel" ensemble, Breb
Historic munument, code LMI MM-II-a-A-04529


This architectural ensemble consists of a wooden church and the parish house in the next-door yard. The church was built in 1622, yet the parts in the structure of the tower have been dated to 1530, giving the church the status of "the wooden church with the oldest tower in Romania". The interior of the church preserves remains of paintings made in the 17th century as well as old icons, whereas in the graveyard there are old Celtic crosses, carved in wood. The parish house was built in 1903 and is set on the side of the previous building (1801).
