St. Nicholas Church, Orthodox church in Șcheii Brașovului district, Romania
The stone church features a rectangular nave, circular apse, and two prominent front towers built with stone and brick materials.
Construction began in 1495 under Vlad Călugăru's support, replacing a wooden church from 1292 on the same location.
The church established the First Romanian School in 1495, where deacon Coresi printed the initial Romanian language books in the 16th century.
Visitors can explore the church, cemetery, and educational exhibitions daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with staff speaking Romanian, German, and French.
The church archives maintain 2,800 old books and manuscripts dating back to the 15th century, documenting Romanian cultural development.
