St. Nicholas Built-in-a-Day Church, Orthodox church at Academiei Street, Bucharest, Romania.

The Romanian Orthodox church features a nave-shaped design with a length of 26 meters, width of 8.5 meters, and facade height of 9.3 meters.

The original wooden structure from the early 17th century was replaced in 1702 when Marica, wife of Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu, ordered construction of the current brick building.

The church maintains a strong connection to the Albanian Orthodox community, which utilized the building from 1911 to 1947 with Fan Noli as parish priest.

Following extensive restoration works completed in 2012, the church received improvements to both its structural elements and artistic components for modern worship services.

The church received its name from a traditional story claiming the original wooden structure was built within a single day to fulfill a construction bet.
