Map of Arieşeni: Wooden church

The wood-church was built in 1791 with financial support from the village parishioners.
The paintings inside were made in 1826 by Mihai from Abrud. The local people talk affectionately about pope Lazea, aka Popa Cuc, who at that time still knew Romanian Cyrillic. The Pășești and Sohănești families' memory is also kept alive. They were some of the eminent people who donated large sums of money, wood and animals in order to help the building process. Their descendants have reserved seats in the loft.
The new church and rectory was built under Chișu Vasile, the leader of the curch since 1989.
