History

In 1833, the Vlach inhabitants of Brasov built a chapel in the courtyard of a house in Búzasor. The church was built between 1895 and 1899 with donations from Vlach merchants living in the town. It was designed by G. Brus, based on the model of the Orthodox church in Vienna built in 1895. Next to it is the neo-Byzantine towered building of the parish. The tower by the street collapsed in 1940 and was restored only in 1972.
