It’s hard to miss the Black Church, which is 292 feet (89 meters) long and 125 feet (38 meters) wide, with a tower that stands 213 feet (65 meters) tall. Inside, the style is baroque, with soaring ceilings, balconies, and stained-glass windows. The church is also known for having one of the largest collections of carpets from Asia Minor, the largest bell in Romania, and one of the largest organs in Europe (with 4,000 pipes, built in 1838). Today, organ recitals at the church are a popular draw for both locals and visitors.
Visit as part of a sightseeing tour that also stops at some of Transylvania’s top attractions, including Bran Castle and Peles Castle. Or visit the Black Church during a walking tour of Brasov, which usually includes other top attractions, such as Council Square, the First Romanian School, and St. Nicholas Church.
