The church „The Entry of the Most Holy Mother of God into the Church” in Zărnești

The Black Church is the parish church of the evangelical congregation of Augustan Confession in Brașov. Its nickname derives from the damage sustained in the Great Fire in 1689, which destroyed large parts of the city and blackened the church`s walls. Initially used only popularly, the name became official on the 20th century. The Black Church houses many remarkable works of art: the baptismal font (1472), a wall painting depicting the Holy Virgin (ca. 1476), Ottoman rugs (17th-18th c.) donated by the members of the congregation to their church, pews (18th-19th c.) attesting to the vast activity of the guilds, the monumental neogothic altar and 5 pipe organs. Two documentary exhibitions, on display in the western part of the church, offer a short history of the Black Church and informations about the life of Johannes Honterus, a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation in Transylvania.

The Romanian Orthodox Church Codlea, with the patronage of the 'Ascension of God", is the first Orthodox church in Codlea and was built in 1783. Until its foundation, the faithful gathered in a chapel. They also had a cemetery, as evidenced by a cross that dates back to 1726 and now stands in the courtyard of the church in front of the linden, which was planted in 1783.
