Franciscan Church, Brașov, Gothic church in Brașov, Romania

The Franciscan Church features intricate stone carvings, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a wooden bell tower arranged in an L-shaped layout.

Built in 1401, the church underwent several transformations, including periods as a granary during Lutheran control and later reconstruction under Austrian military patronage in 1724.

The interior contains Baroque furniture from the 1730s, including a three-piece main altar with an oil painting depicting Saint John baptizing Jesus Christ.

The church stands at 7 Saint John Street in the old district of Brașov, remaining open for religious services and visitor exploration.

The northern wall displays a fresco by artist Hans Bulhardt showing Saint Anthony with a wolf, painted during 20th-century renovations.
