Biserica Neagra din Brasov - The Black Church in Brasov

Picture showing Brasovs most important landmark, the Black Church, on a cloudy winter day. It is the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul, towers over Piata Sfatului and the old town. Originally dedicated to Virgin Marry the church was Roman-Catholic for more than a century and a half and later with the reformation sweeping across Europe it became a Lutheran one. Service is still held today for the small German community from Brasov on Sundays.
