The Black Church (Biserica Neagră) in Brașov is a prominent landmark and one of the largest Gothic-style churches in Eastern Europe. Its history is rich, marked by the Great Fire of 1689 which blackened its walls, hence the name. Inside, visitors can admire a late Gothic architecture, a large Buchholz organ (still in use), and a collection of oriental carpets. The church is generally accessible to most visitors, though some areas may have limited access for those with mobility issues. A solo visit allows for a self-paced exploration, while guided tours offer deeper historical insights. There might be seasonal closures or reduced hours, particularly during religious holidays or special events, so it's advisable to check the schedule in advance. The entry fee is relatively inexpensive, usually a few euros. A typical visit lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on your level of interest and whether you opt for a guided tour.
