Black Church

Curtea Honterus nr 2, Brasov, Romania

Introduction

One of the landmarks in Brasov is the Black Church. This Gothic church was named after a massive fire in the 17th century that nearly destroyed the entire town. Although the church was spared, its exterior walls were charred black by the intense flames. A restoration project lasting about a hundred years was carried out to repair the damage. During the restoration, the interior design of the church also incorporated luxurious Baroque elements. Organ concerts take place inside the church during the summer, making it another must-see attraction in Brasov.
