- Sapanta - Peri, The Highest Wooden Church In The World. Buildings of monastery, Maramures, Romania. Monastery in Maramures. Beautiful wooden Orthodox churches. Sapanta Peri Monastery is one of the most representative churches for Maramures. Located next to Sapanta Village, within a dendrology park, the wooden church was built in 1391. In 1391 Dragos Voda’s nephews donated lands and properties to Peri Monastery, so they built a stone church. The church built in Maramures style was initially gilded with 8.5 kg of gold and the cross, seven meters high, coated with four kilos of gold. The construction is located on the banks of the Tysa. You can see the monastery’ steeple from a five kilometers distance over Tysa and can also be admired by Romanians in Transcarpathia, the region of the historical Maramures that now belongs to Ukraine. It is built of oak, on a stone foundation. The tower is 78 meters tall and the building is considered the tallest wooden church in the world, being registered in the Guiness Book. Currently the monastery hosts six nuns and it is included in the UNESCO Patrimony.
