Biserica de lemn din Albac, Wooden church in Băile Olănești, Romania.

The wooden church of Albac stands at an elevation in Băile Olănești, featuring traditional Orthodox architectural elements and handcrafted wooden details throughout its structure.

Built in 1752, the church was relocated from Albac village to Florica estate in 1907 by Ion I. C. Brătianu during the Austro-Hungarian Empire period.

The church contains an iconostasis with inscriptions from 1752 and serves as an example of Transylvanian religious architectural craftsmanship and Orthodox traditions.

The church opens for visitors during regular Orthodox service hours and requires modest dress code, with photography permitted only in specific designated areas.

This wooden church holds the distinction of being the first Transylvanian wooden church saved as a historical monument in Romania.
