Wooden Church at Prodanesti, Romania


The Church of St. George in Prodanesti was built in 1732, according to historical records. This small church measures 8.3 x 3.4 meters and consists of a rectangular space with the pronaos and naos and a smaller rectangular chamber to house the altar. The roof of the church stands at 5.2 meters, while the steeple rises to a height of 13.2 meters. No decoration remains on the exterior and there is no porch. The elements sustaining the roof are stepped with rounded edges. The stone foundation, several beams of the walls and much of the roof were restored in 2003.
