Brașovechi Church

After the Patent of Toleration was issued in 1782, the Romanians of Brașov sent a number of petitions to the local and Viennese authorities, asking to build a church.

Ștefan Nicola, a wealthy merchant of Șcheii Brașovului and a Greek originally from Ioannina, promised a magistrate that he would pay the entire cost.

[1] Made of brick and stone, the church is built in a late Baroque style, in a three-lobed shape.

[1] The church was painted in fresco from 1783 to 1790 by four brothers from Săsăuș; they had established an iconographers’ school in Săcele in 1780.
