Desesti

The Mara River defines the setting of Desești — its valley threads through the wooded hills and farmsteads of Romania’s historic Maramureș region. The village is best known for the wooden Church of Saint Paraskeva, built in 1770 and included among the Wooden Churches of Maramureș on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Its tall shingled roof, timber construction and painted interior reflect building traditions maintained across this northern corner of Romania. Desești also lies in a landscape where hay meadows, orchards and smallholdings remain integral to daily rural life. See how Desești fits within Maramureș by browsing webcams nearby.
