The Black Church

This is definitely Brasov's most important landmark.

It's the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul, originally dedicated to Virgin Mary. The building of the church started in 1383. It burned almost entirely twice, in 1421 and 1689. Its present name comes from the dark colour of its exterior walls.


Inside, you can see a nice collection of antique rugs and numerous icons.

Address: Court J. Honterus 2
