the saint nicholas churchis a romanian orthodox church established in 1292 and built in stone starting from 1495 in the "schei" district , outside the walls of the old town of brasov . if brasov (founded by teutonic knights and the colonists they brought 800 years ago) was a "german" town , and the romanians didn't have rights as citizens , the romanians lived in schei and other sites in the area .
built in gothic style , later was redone in baroque style .
next to it is the first romanian school , started in 1583 .

So great to catch up with your blog - wow some really great photos here. The churches are very majestic!!!
Love the pear and the tree post too. So nice to visit a country I know so little about!
Cheers
Nice work RO. The two shots work well to give a more complete feel for the Church. And the scenery in the background really is amazing! I think about the only thing I would be able to find in Dunedin that is 800 years old would be a rock.
Thanks RO!

PS. Have you ever noticed that the later it gets at night,the more difficult it seems to be to read those verification words?
The churches in today's and yesterday's posts are so delightful to look at.
