Saint Nicholas church in Făgăraș, Romanian Orthodox church in Făgăraș, Romania.
The Saint Nicholas Church features an open porch with ten octagonal columns and an octagonal bell tower positioned above the central nave.
Built in 1698 under Constantin Brâncoveanu's patronage, the church replaced an earlier structure after forty years of Orthodox Christians using neighboring village churches.
The church contains the largest surviving Brâncovenesc-style oak iconostasis, with specific inscriptions indicating the painter originated from Câmpulung.
Located at 16 Tudor Vladimirescu Street, the church underwent restoration work between 1994 and 1998 to reveal original fresco paintings.
The construction approval required specific limitations on wall thickness and height to maintain clear views of the Făgăraș Citadel.
