The Budesti church, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, is dating back to 1643. Frescoes inside are executed in ochre, red and white; several images are in icon form, painted on wood (or glass?) and framed, something we have not seen that much in other churches.

Once again, brilliant frescoes!

The other Maramures churches covered are those in Ieud, Poienile Izei, Botiza and Desesti.
