Ruina de la Rodna

  • Subiect: Within the building complex of the Greek-Catholic church at Rodna (Bistriţa-Năsăud County) lay the remains of the medieval parish church, consisting of a ruined tower and a fragment of the nave's western wall. The ruins underwent some conservation works in the early 20th century and were object of an archaeological survey in 1955, which revealed three periods of construction. The main phase was identified as belonging to a 13th century basilica with the choir joined by two chambers, followed by a reconstruction materialized in a lesser nave. Unfortunately, the archaeological investigation did not consider the constructive relation between the eccentric tower and the basilica, in order to determine whether they belonged to the same phase, or not. Judging from the representations rendered by visual documents dating back to 19th century, one can assume that the present ruins display two building phases, e.g. the 13th century structures featured by the tower, and the reconstruction embodied by the church's western wall. The rib fragment rendered by architect Rudolf Wagner in his 1923 record, shows a similar profile with those of the Dominican nunnery founded by the Hungarian royal family on Margaret Island and consecrated in 1259. It is to presume a close bond between the two workshops, view that Rodna was a royal mining town during the Middle Ages and most likely the queen was patron of the parish church until 1440, when the domain of Rodna was donated to the Jakcs of Kusal family.
