Drangedal Church

Drangedal Church

Drangedal, NO

The Drangedal church was consecrated in 1775 after the previous church on the site had fallen into ruin and become too small. The church was built of wood with a T-shaped plan and was named the Church of Emmanuel. In 1839-42, a choir was built to the east, so that the church took the shape of a cross. At the same time, it was panelled on the outside and inside.

Drăuşeni Fortified Church

Drăuşeni Fortified Church

Drăușeni, RO

The Romanesque basilica with buttresses, western tower and chancel with apse was finished in the mid-13th century, thus replacing the former 12th century church. In the fortification phase of 1494 defence levels were built on the tower, nave and chancel. The chancel’s walls were strengthened and heightened up to the nave’s eaves and the side aisles were demolished. In the same period an 8m high defence wall with 5 bastions was erected and it is still preserved today. The Romanesque western portal is decorated with some of the most valuable stone carvings in Transylvania. From the Romanesque construction time the twin blind-arcades, today functioning as windows, are still preserved as well as the walled up round clerestory windows. Ample restoration works have been carried out for several years now and have revealed frescoes on large areas. The valuable 1638 furniture was initially stored away because of the restoration works, but was later moved to a different church for safety reasons.
