Dormition of the Theotokos church in Brașov, Orthodox church in central Brașov, Romania.

The Dormition of the Theotokos church features late Baroque architecture with a three-lobed shape, brick and stone construction, and a square western bell tower.

Built in 1783 after receiving approval through the Patent of Toleration, the church was funded by merchant Ștefan Nicola to serve the Romanian community.

Four brothers from Săsăuș created interior frescoes between 1783 and 1790, establishing an important iconographers' school in the nearby Săcele region.

Located at 47 Bisericii Române Street, the church maintains regular Orthodox services and welcomes visitors interested in its architectural and historical elements.

The church's brass plate roof, installed in 1928 to replace original tiles, maintains its distinctive saddle shape above the main structure.
