Old Wood
My favorite churches are not currently in use. They are wooden churches in the Village Museum. They were transfered here piece by piece from distant corners of the country.
There is no nail in them, the beams are just joined together.
I like to enter them, feel the old wax candles smell, touch the worn out wood and think of all the people that stayed here, thought, prayed and maybe found comfort.
Their faith and hope made the place special.

Is it a National Museum funded by the government or a private museum?
Who takes care of these churches?
Do you consider the environment the proper one for them? You said they have been brought here?
It's a big open-air museum, a national one. The environment is not so good, as it is in the middle of a polluted town, but the museum is taken care of by specialists.
The churches were taken to pieces and brought, as the rest of the houses there, from all over the country, even from Maramures, where wooden churches are a centuries-old tradition.
The museum is very nice, I love it.
We'll take you all there, but meanwhile, if you are curious, you can see more on the CD we made for the visit in Spain.
