The originally-Roman Catholic structure was known as the Church of Saint Mary, replacing an older building used for the same purpose.Construction on it began during the late 14th century, at an unknown date — analysis of related evidence has led several researchers to conclude that work began between 1383 and 1385,employing Bulgarian workers and craftsmen who proceeded to establish the Brașov Bulgarian colony in Șcheii Brașovului.According to popular legend, a German child was disturbing the Bulgarian builders or told them that one of the walls was leaning. An annoyed Bulgarian pushed the child off the church tower and then immured his corpse in the church to conceal his crime. It is known that, in its first stages, the building was serviced by a priest named Thomas (died 1410), whose grave is located in the choir area.Work on the fortifications in the surrounding area probably began at the same time as work on the church, leading in time to the completion of Brașov's third citadel. Its altar originally featured a single column, but its role in supporting the entire central structure — on the model of German cathedrals built by Hans Stettheimer (a view expressed by researchers such as Ernst Kühlbrandt and Antal Hekler) is under dispute.The naves took longer to complete, and construction was interrupted for various intervals: in 1423, Pope Martin V issued an indulgence for people involved in construction, as a means to reactivate the site; in 1474, a document issued by Sixtus IV acknowledged that work was still lagging.

Originally a catholic church - Lutheran/Protestant after 1542 - the church was built between 1383 and 1477 in gothic style. After the fire that destroyed a big part of it in 1689; it was rebuilt in baroque style (hence the name -"Black Church"- due to the blackened stones that were reused to rebuild the church - where possible) There are tiny decorations and frescoes inside the church. Also, there are several details you can find out about from the guides inside - you have free guidance in Romanian, Hungarian, English and/or German languages (for Romanian and/or Hungarian guidance look for Bea - she was great in explaining the details about the church and its history). So when you are in Brasov - check out the Black Church - the 2nd biggest church in Romania; it is something to be seen!

The Black Church, Biserica Neagră in Romanian, stands in the city of Brașov in south-eastern Transylvania, Romania. It was built by the Saxon community of the city 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. Author Judit Petki contends that, contrary to a widely held view, the Black Church did not receive its dark appearance as a result of the fire which affected much of the city in 1689, but only in recent times due to pollution. The current popular name is apparently a 19th-century creation. The cathedral, a working church, is the main city landmark of historical Brașov, and a museum is open to visitors.
