Many interesting things are located mostly in Transylvania, especially places where was inhabited in the past by the saxons, their villages, cities, churches. Other regions like Moldavia and Wallachia are not so rich, especially in medieval architecture, mostly because this regions was controled for 300-350 years by ottomans, and many things here stagnated for centuries, especially architecture. Still, you can find here many intersting things.

Wooden church in the village of Galu, commune Poiana Teiului, Neamt County, Moldavia region, was built in the early nineteenth century on the site of a much older ancient shrine of 1780, destroyed in unknown circumstances. Built on a knoll, the church burnes in 1812, to be raised again after several years of effort, this time near the bank of Bistrita, up to 1818. The church building is made in Moldavian style with some Transylvanian influences, justified by Transylvanian migration from the late eighteenth century, to Moldova

The Dragomirna Monastery was built during the first three decades of the 17th century, 15 km from Suceava, in Mitocu Dragomirnei commune. It is the tallest medieval monastery in northern Moldavia and renowned in Orthodox architecture for its unique proportions and intricate details, mostly carved into stone.

All the pictures are from 1978

Lol. Hungarians

Interesting, when a Romanian knows nothing about the European art history, because that history is Hungarian in Transsylvania. The Saxons were a small, but economically and politically important minority in Transsylvania, there art was part of the local Hungarian art of the Carpathian basin everytime, because the Hungarians were their contacts to the European art without direct German-Saxon contacts (the situation was different in Western Hungary and Buda, where the local German origin citizens had direct contacts to the German markets). And main sources of the Hungarian art was equally Italian, French and German in the last eighthundred years and not a dominantly German influenced, especially not the Hungarian gothic art, what was frequently French influenced since the beginnings of the Hungarian gothic. For example the cathedral of Gyulafehérvár, what is a typical French styled early gothic building without any German influence.

The reason was simple: the royal level political contacts (Anjou and Luxemburgian houses) and the magnates artistic intentios of the court was equally important for the development of the Hungarian art, than the Danubian cultural contacts of the urban citizens. And these contacts were mostly French and Italian affected.

Anyway, it's meaningles, Transsylvania and the Hungarian medieval art is dark spot for you.

I think that the origin and development of hungarian and transylvanian art is a dark spot for you. Most of the western influence was bringed in Hungary by saxons from today South Germany in XIIth century. Through history, they was the main driving force of developement of art in this region, especially in Transylvania. Before arrival of germans, the hungarian art had a big byzantine influence, especially in the architecture. The Cathedral from Alba Iulia was build in XIIIth century under Arpad dynasty, before Anjou and Luxemburgian houses take the power of the country in the early XIVth century, and she is a mix of romanesque with some early gothic elements.

In Eastern Europe and Balkans was only three ethnicities who had a big impact on the development of culture, and many other things, especially architecture. They was germans, greeks, and italians.

Still, I don't understand how your post is related to moldavian architecture, csangos settlers, and their influence on this side of the Carpathians.
