Biserica Evanghelică din Bistrița, Lutheran church in Bistrița, Romania.
The church exhibits both Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, featuring a 75-meter tower and detailed stone carvings on its exterior walls.
Built on the foundation of a previous Saxon church from 1332, the current structure underwent major renovations between 1533 and 1560 under architect Petrus Italus.
The interior houses Renaissance choir stalls crafted by Johannes Begler, decorated with geometric inlays that represent Transylvanian craftsmanship of the 16th century.
Visitors can access the church daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours available in Romanian, German, and English languages.
The church tower stands as the tallest medieval structure in Romania at 75 meters, surpassing the Evangelical Cathedral of Sibiu by a small margin.
