History
The Orthodox church was built shortly after the Romanian occupation, between 1921 and 1922, in the centre of the historic and sacral capital of Transylvania, inhabited by Hungarians, as a symbol of the conquest, for the coronation of the Romanian monarchs Ferdinand I and Mary on 15 October 1922. It was built in the immediate vicinity of the medieval cathedral of the ancient Catholic diocese of Transylvania. It is a copy of the church of Târgoviste in Wallachia.
