History
The Saxon Lutheran Church of St. Martin (or Martinsberger Kirche in German) is located in Óbrassó, on the western side of the hill of the Citadel. The western side of the citadel hill is also called Martinsberg (Martinsberg) after its former patron saint. It was built in the 13th century (with a starting date of 1235). It may originally have belonged to the Premonstratensians, later to the Franciscans. King Sigismund of Hungary had a mass celebrated in it in 1395. The church was damaged in the Turkish siege of 1421, and it took several years to repair.
It owes its Gothic elements to its restoration in the early 16th century. Its sanctuary was demolished in 1795-96 and the church was extended twice as long in its place. Its Baroque altarpiece was painted by Martin Schuler in 1730. The painted pulpit canopy and the painted coffers of the parapet also date from the 18th century. Its bell dates from 1521. In 1926 it received a new organ and coloured windows. In the 2000s, it underwent excavation and reconstruction works. Next to it is a cemetery and the former parsonage, built in the 18th century.
