Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary - Brasov - Biserica Adormirea Maicii Domnului
N the year 1829, a small chapel dedicated to the 'Assumption of the Virgin Mary' was consecrated in a room. The first minister of this chapel was Priest Vasile Greceanu, who served until 1866 when Priest Toma Vasiliu passed away. In 1866, due to structural damage, it was decided to close the small chapel in Cetate, and its affiliated Christians started attending services officiated by Priest Bartolomeu Baiulescu at 'St. Trinity.' On June 9, 1895, after significant efforts led by Priest Bartolomeu Baiulescu, Archbishop Miron Romanuli laid the foundation stone of the church for 463 souls and 113 heads of families. This church, under the leadership of Parish Priest Bartolomeu Baiulescu, was consecrated by Metropolitan Ioan Mețianu on June 18, 1899. The church, constructed in a Byzantine style, features a central dome and a bell tower. It has a length of 26.6 meters and a width of 12.3 meters. A tower facing the square was added later but collapsed during the 1940 earthquake. It was reconstructed in 1973 by Engineer Victor Buta during Father Nicolae Coman's pastorate. The temple's intricate carvings and gilding were crafted by artist J. Kuptsay, the director of the sculpture school in Brașov, who designed the pulpit, the bishop's chair, the iconostasis, and the galleries on the choir loft. The interior painting was executed by A. Demian in 1937, and the iconostasis was painted by Hans Bulhardi in 1898. The initial restoration of the painting was undertaken by painter Iosif Vasu between 1965 and 1966. Subsequent cleaning and restoration took place in 1985 and 2005. The most recent restoration was carried out by restorer-painter Mihai Stinghie.
