Cultural Heritage of a Three Centuries Old Wooden Church

A three-century-old wooden church in Drăghia, Maramureș, Romania, stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of its local community in preserving cultural heritage. Despite significant degradation due to weathering and historical wear, the villagers successfully secured funds for restoration in 2006, saving the church's structure and architecture. However, the interior paintings remain severely degraded, necessitating urgent conservation efforts. This study highlights the community's fervent struggle to safeguard their legacy, demonstrating a model of collective responsibility that other regions with similar monuments could emulate.
