Back to the collection

Thewooden church from Farcasais considered to be one of the most “gifted” from the entire Neamt County and it differentiate itself from other churches through the wealth of its ornaments that are “talking” about the diversity of folk traditional creations from this area. This church was built in 1774 following a plan in which the altar was under a dome and where a small porch in the south side had the bell tower on top of it.

What’s impressive at this monument of art and architecture is the original way in which local artisans from Bistrita Valley created the ornaments of the church. We can see, under the roof, a belt made of two overlapping planks decorated with two rows of concentric arcs and rosettes, made by puncture technique with paint and poker work.
