Lăpuş (in Template:Hu) is a village in Maramureş county, Transilvania, România, on the river Lăpuş, at 12 km from the town of Târgu Lăpuş. Etymologically, its name would come from the hungarian lápos (i.e. "flatland, bog, muddy place"). Its existence is attested, under the name of Dragosfálva, in 1293, in an edict through which the land of Lápos is given by the king of Hungary to one Tomaj Dénes, from the nation of the Patzinaks[1], although there are traces of habitation in the area as early as the bronze age.
Has a beautiful old wooden church, built at the end of the XVIIth century, that was restored between 2002-2004.
