A charming Little Paris style tomb, with Orientalist/ Early Neo-Romanian elements, from the 1890s, in Dumbrava cemetery, Buzau, SE Romania. #littleparis #earlyneoromanian #neoromanian #tomb #cemetery #1890s #buzau #casedeepoca #valentinmandache

An unusually long table and benches, made from single trunks of oak, like the ship masts, unfurling on the full length of the southern side of Rogoz wooden church (built in the 17th c), in Lapus Country/ Maramures. The table is called the Elders’ Table (‘Masa Mosilor’ in Ro), used for communal festival meals, and protected from inclement weather by an ample roof eave. #oaktable #woodenchurch #rogoz #taralapusului #maramures #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache

The typical Maramures style wooden gates of the priest’s house in the village of Breb (Romanian for beaver). #maramuresgates #woodengates #gates #breb #maramures #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache

Monumental Szekler gates in the village of Acatari/ Akosfalva, Mures county, Transylvania. #woodengates #szeklergates #ákosfalva #transylvania #ethnography #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache

The portal of the 1717 built Surdesti wooden church in Maramures. It looks modernist nearly in its design, a testimony of the high level of artistry of the local 17h and 18th c old master woodcarvers. On the pediment one can see the outline of a pseudo-Wallachian ornate keel arch, which comes form the Moldavian Gothic, influent in that region, which used to be the home of the founders of the Principality of Moldavia from over the mountains. #surdesti #woodenchurch #portal #wallachian #moldavian #maramures #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache

Naves, seen towards the altar iconostasis, of the 17th and 18th c wooden churches (Greek-Catholic and Orthodox) churches of the Romanian communities of Maramures. Photos from the recent cultural toir of Maramures, Oradea and NW Transylvania. #woodenchurch #nave #naos #maramures #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache

Snaps of the façade of Palace Stern in Oradea/ Nagyvarad, Crisana/ Partium, built in 1905 in the Hungarian National-Romantic style of the Art Nouveau (I would call it Neo-Hungarian), and designed by the arch. Marcel Komor and Dezso Jakab, the ones also present in the famous Art Nouveau creations of Targu Mures/ Marosvasarhely in Transylvania. #artnouveau #hungariannationalromantism #oradea #nagyvárad #palatulstern #sternpalace #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache #1900s
