Saint Bartholomew Church Brasov - Biserica Sfântul Bartolomeu
The parochial church of 'Ancient Brasov,' situated near Sprenghi Hill, is the oldest historical monument in the town. It was rebuilt after the Tartar invasion of 1241 and combines early Gothic architectural elements with a basilica-like layout, featuring three connected aisles, a transept, and a choir with a polygonal apse. The church's sanctuary and extensions exhibit characteristic narrow windows with circular poly-lobe rosaries and carved stone details in the Cistercian architectural style. Ottoman attacks in 1421 and 1438 led to the reconstruction of the vaults in the aisles and transept. Further renovations occurred between 1634 and 1663, and two towers were initially planned on the western side, with only one being completed in its current form in 1842. Additionally, a neo-Gothic parochial house was constructed in 1905.
