A view over the Council Square (Piața Sfatului) from the Black Church (DE: Schwarze Kirche / RO: Biserica Neagră), Brașov, Transylvania, Romania. Photograph not dated (probably early 20th century).
The Black Church began construction in 1383 and was completed in 1476. It is home to a Lutheran (Augsburg Confession) parish of the Transylvanian Saxon community. The twelve statues which decorate its façade, as seen on the left of the above photograph, are currently being restored (with other sections of the church having previously been restored in 1937 and 2000).
