About this spot
The Black Church or Biserica Neagra is in the city of Brașov in south-eastern Transylvania, Romania. It was built by the local Transylvanian Saxon (German) community of the city during medieval times and represents the main Gothic-style monument in the country, as well as being the largest and one of the most important houses of worship in the region which belong to the Lutheran, i.e., Evangelical Church of Augustan Confession in Romania.
No one is really sure whether it is known as the black church due to a fire in 1689 or pollution accumulated over more recent times from the 19th century.
The cathedral, a working church, is the main city landmark of historical Brașov, and a museum is open to visitors.
