A lovely little church, especially at night when it’s beautifully lit and shines like a beacon over the old Schei district. During the day, it might seem a bit understated, but once the lights come on, it turns into something truly magical—like you're waiting for a saint to appear… or maybe a vampire, this is Romania after all. 😄 Dating back to the 15th century, this is one of the most important Romanian Orthodox landmarks in Transylvania. Inside you’ll find impressive frescoes and icons, and right next door is the First Romanian School with a small museum. A perfect blend of history and nighttime charm.

Stumbled across this famous old church by accident as I was looking for parking. Beautiful grounds, walk all the way around then go inside. Really dark but you can get a sense of how old this church is better from the inside. Regretfully it appears to be falling in disrepair and needs maintenance and restoration. There was no one else really here so no issues taking pictures. The door was open.

Exceptional monument of architecture and fab church in Schei district of Brasov town. The only thing wasn't impressed with was the painting of Romanian Queen inside with naked arm and shoulder. That's a no no for me. Titulescu grave us nearby, also first Romanian school and publishing house are located on the same grounds.

This is one of the most important landmarks of the city, not only does it date back to the 15th century but it pertains to Romanian history quite unlike the monuments of the old citadel which are German. Unfortunately, while the church is indeed beautiful with some stunning outside murals it is not very well maintained and this is such a shame. I remember visiting 20 years ago and it was in a far better shape than now. The inside is dimly lit, there is a huge souvenir shop in dissonance with what a place of worship should be and often the place is closed for no apparent reason. Photos even by phone are not allowed, the old murals are in places impossible to see though so not much of a loss. The garden is nice in the summer and well maintained but the personnel are quite grumpy and not fans of tourists.

One of the most beautiful interiors I've ever seen. It's very hard to park but I do recommend the small detour

This is a very beautiful Church with an amazing architecture. The entire area is very beautiful and gives you a nice vibe. If you go near it you must go and visit it.
