St. Michael's Church, Gothic Catholic church in central Cluj-Napoca, Romania
The church features three equal-height aisles with a longitudinal structure, a polygonal apse, and a tower reaching 80 meters in height.
Construction began in the mid-14th century after Cluj received city status in 1316, with later modifications following fires in 1498, 1665, and 1697.
The interior contains 14th-century capitals with masks and narrative scenes, plus fragments of late Gothic mural paintings in the southern apse.
Visitors can climb the church tower through scheduled appointments arranged at the Information Point located in Piața Unirii square.
The sacristy portal from 1528 displays Late Renaissance influences from Vienna and includes the coat of arms of Cluj and pelican imagery.
