Săpânța-Peri Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Săpânța, Romania
The monastery incorporates traditional Maramures architecture with a wooden church standing at 78 meters tall on the banks of the Tisza River.
The original Peri Monastery, established in 1391 by descendants of Dragos Voda, served as the seat of the Romanian Diocese of Maramures for 300 years.
The medieval Peri Monastery was a center of religious literature where the Psalter, Gospel, and Acts of the Apostles were first translated into Romanian.
The current monastery, completed in 2003, features a seven-meter cross covered with four kilograms of gold and walls plated with 8.5 kilograms of gold.
The wooden church structure required over 400 cubic meters of oak timber, with sixty percent sourced from local forests in the Maramures region.
