| The Black Church |
Initially known as Saint Mary's Church,
the Black Church (14th-15th centuries) is the largest Gothic church in
Romania and within the territory between Vienna and Istanbul. It is
said on this place it was a small chapel destroyed by Tartars in 1242.
The building of the actual church began in 1385 and took a century
till it was erected (1477). The year 1477 is written in Gothic letters
on the front gate, the only piece made in wood that resisted the fire
started by the Austrians in 1689. The church derived its name from its
walls being blackened by this fire that destroyed all pieces made in
wood, the ancient organ and the bells. |
