Romanians in Transylvania, as opposed to their kinsmen in Moldavia and Wallachia, were only allowed to build churches in wood, and not in stone.
However, in 1703, a village of Romanian stonemasons found a loophole, and erected a stone church in the name of Archangel Michael and

Just re-read this one recently and am now 100% sure it's one of the greatest novels I've ever read. A story about 1930s Bucharest, a decaying aristocracy, a despicable bourgeoise and the revolutionary youth that was to replace it.
This might be the best Romanian novel ever written. It's up there with Dostoevsky's masterpieces, as Cioran said upon its release.
