The Church of Saint Nicholas in Densuș (Demsdorf), Hunedoara County, in western Romania, is the oldest stone church in the country.

Built in its current form in the 13th century on the site of a 2nd-century Roman temple, it used materials from the Dacian fortress of Sarmizegetusa. The church interior features 15th-century frescoes depicting Jesus in traditional Romanian attire.

Historians suggest the site once housed a Dacian temple for the god Zamolxis, later turned into a Roman temple for Mars. The church’s origins trace back to the 4th century, making it the oldest church in Romania and Southeast Europe.

We thank Go Hunedoara for granting permission to use these images.

The Schiltal, or Valea Jiului in Romanian, is nestled in the Retezat Mountains, Hunedoara County, and was once the largest mining area in Romania.

From the middle of the 19th century, miners and experts from different parts of Europe and many different nationalities came here and have shaped the image of this region to this day. Of the 16 former coal mines, three are still in operation today. In winter, until spring, there are also many winter sports activities in this area around the towns of Petrosani and Lupeni.

We would like to thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these wonderful pictures and the corresponding text/explanation.
