Corund, Wooden church"The Romanian’s wooden chapel was first mentioned in 1494. The date of construction of the wood church that has survived today is not known, but in 1797 the church was described as new. A porch is found on the southern and western sides of the church and the sanctuary ends in several sides of a polygon. At the western end of the church there is a choir loft and a tower with four pinnacles. The first section of the church is the women’s church, which leads to men’s church. At the eastern end of the nave is the iconostasis consisting of three rows of images and a door that leads to the sanctuary. In the men’s church are images of the three figures of the Trinity, St Michael, the prophets, martyrs, and the Passion of Jesus. In the Women’s church is a depiction of the Last Judgment, wise and foolish virgins, and martyrs. The identity of the painter is unknown, but the date 1798 indicates when the paintings were completed." |
