26/50.- Calinesti-Josani(Caeni) wooden church

Built in the 17th century this is a church with a traditional plan, rectangular pronaos and nave with a polygonal chancel. At the beginning of the 19th century it was modified and enlarged. A roof with single eaves covers the whole structure, but both the chancel and the porch have their own slightly lower roofs. The tower seems very short, although originally it was well-proportioned. The widening of the body of the church meant also that the roof ridge was raised, and now it starts right under the small tower balcony. The original proportions are visible on the west and south sides.
