The Black Church is the largest Catholic church in Transylvania and the largest Gothic church in Southeast Europe. The Black Church was built in 1383 and lasted for nearly 100 years until it was completed in 1477. In 1689, the stone wall was blackened by smoke because it was burned down. After the reconstruction, the outer walls are still black, hence the name "Black Church". The Black Church has five gates, the gate at the main entrance is the older one. On the square pillars of the side door, there are many small Greek statues of gods. There are 119 Anatolian carpets from Turkey in the Black Church and a large pipe organ built in the second half of the 19th century with more than 4,000 pipes. This pipe organ is still in use today. There will also be organ concerts. Brasov's coat of arms can be seen on the pillars in front of the pulpit: a crown on a tree with deep roots and leaves.
