Saint Basil the Great Cathedral, Bucharest

A significant amount (100,000 Austro-Hungarian krone) was donated to the former parish priest, Demetriu Radu, who later became bishop of the Greek Catholic diocese of Oradea Mare.

After only seven months, on Saint Nicholas feast (December 6), Archbishop Netzhammer, under whose jurisdiction were Greek Catholics in Bucharest, consecrated the church built by architect Nicolae Ghica-Budești.

After World War I, with the establishment of the Deanery of Bucharest at Romanian Kingdom, Saint Basil Church came under the jurisdiction of the Greek Catholic Archdiocese of Făgăraș and Alba Iulia as residence of the archdeaconate.

Immediately after the events of the Romanian Revolution in December 1989, the Greek Catholic parish Saint Basil the Great in Bucharest reopened while asked its church restitution.

On May 4, 2008, in a ceremony attended by over 2,000 people,[3] in the church was installed a new Greek Catholic bishop, now vicar of Bucharest, Mihai Frățilă, and the building was elevated to cathedral.

The church was frequented during the interwar period by Greek Catholic politicians who served in the Romanian capital, such as Iuliu Maniu, his secretary Corneliu Coposu, Alexandru Vaida-Voevod, and others.
