Nice, actually well maintained church! Visiting this site on public holidays is not usually possible, as we went there on a national vacation.

The Black Church, along with the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, houses Europe's largest collection of oriental carpets from the 15th and 16th centuries. The interior of the Black Church is dominated by the vibrant colors of the approximately 110 oriental carpets on display. Even a layperson will be impressed by the multitude of nuances and patterns of this unusual decoration. To adorn the church, wealthy members of the community and guild masters donated brightly colored Ottoman textiles, especially carpets. Produced in Anatolia, these were traded to Kronstadt, where they were acquired by the citizens to decorate the altar, pulpit, or pews.

The Black Church (Biserica Neagra) is the parish church of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Brașov. The late Gothic building was partially damaged in the fire of 1689, and the soot stained its walls black. The popular name "Black Church" after the fire was officially adopted in the 19th century. The present Black Church stands on the site of an older Romanesque church from the 13th century, which was destroyed during the Tatar invasion of 1241. Construction began in 1383. The Turkish invasion of 1421 interrupted construction and forced the city to focus on fortifications. The year 1477 can be considered the final year of construction on the church. At 89 meters long and 38 meters wide, the Black Church is the largest Gothic religious building in Southeast Europe. It can accommodate approximately 5,000 people.
