Brasov's Black Church is the biggest gothic hystoric cultural edifice from Southeastern Europe, measuring 89 meters in length, 38 meters in width and 21 meters in height in interior and 40 meters in exterior. This church can hold up to 5000 persons, as much as Brasov's population number was in 16th century, the period it was built in. The bell of Black Church weights 6 tons, being the heavyest church bell in Romania. The 4000 tubullar bells organ is the biggest in Southeastern Europe as well. While in Brasov, you don't want to miss the weekly church organ concert at Black Church.
