Saint Nicholas Church is a Romanian Orthodox church in Brasov, dominating the historic district of Schei. The church was established in 1292. It was mentioned in a Papal bull issued in 1399 by Pope Boniface IX. Starting in 1495, the church was rebuilt in stone by the locals, with help from Vlad Calugarul, Voivode (Prince) of Wallachia. More help was provided around 1512 by Neagoe Basarab. Initially built in the Gothic style, it was later redone in the Baroque style. It has frescoes painted by the renowned muralist Misu Popp.
