Map of Făgăraş: St. Nicholas Orthodox Church

The church was built by Constantin Brâncoveanu between 1697 and 1698, complying with Apafi Mihály's request not to make the walls too thick, and the tower too high, so that the towers of the Fagaras fortress remain the dominant ones. In 1723 the church is taken away by the Unitarians, and till 1737 it functions as Unitarian episcopate. Then it is returned to the Othodox church.
The altar screen is made from real, gilded oak. Its paintings were made by Preda from Câmpulung, whose sons painted the church in 1721. The frescos in the parvis were made in 1778 by an unknown artist.
