The Church of the Holy Archangels of Rogoz is one of the wooden churches of Maramureş in Romania. The current building, made of elm wood, was built in 1663, after the fire of the old church by the Tatars in 1661. The imposing tower of the church and the paintings are due to the restoration of 1785.
