Biserica Evanghelică din Sibiu Evangelische Stadtpfarrkirche in Hermannstadt The Evangelical Cathedral of Sibiu
Sibiu - Hermannstadt European Capital of Culture 2007
This Gothic cathedral was built in the XIVth century. The tower of the church is exactly 73 meters tall and its building started in 1371. In 1424 the height of the nave walls had been raised with 2.6 meters. It again suffered modifications in 1520. Even though many of the aureous decorations can not be seen, the church is full with artifacts. Here is one of the countrys perhaps most beautiful bronze laver recipient. It was made, in 1438, by Leonhardus. Supposedly it was made out of the canons that were captured from the Turks in 1437. On its side Cyrillic writings can be seen. The pipe-organ was made in 1672. read more
