The exceedingly charming 1706 built Surpatele Monastery Church, by Princess Marica Brancoveanu, in high Wallachian style architecture, which is still superbly preserved. Oltenia province, southwestern Romania. #surpatele #surpatelemonastery #oltenia #wallachia #wallachianstyle #wallachian #architecturehistory #church #ottomanempire #ottomanarchitecture #balkans #southeasteurope #valentinmandache #casedeepoca

The Romantic style painting in the Black Church of Kronstadt/ Brasov, depicting the start of the Lutheran Reformation among the Saxons of Transylvania, under the guidance of the humanist Johannes Honterus, seen seated at the table. The first Protestant service took place there in 1542. The painting is by Fritz Schullerus, 1898. #johanneshonterus #honterus #balckchurch #schwarzekirche #kronstadt #brasov #saxontransylvania #transylvania #reformation #lutheranism #casedeepoca #southeasteurope #valentinmandache

This is the most complete Gothic era fresco left in the Black Church of Brasov/ Kronstadt, Saxon Transylvania, after the whitewashing of the Reformation. It was painted to celebrate the wedding of King Mathias Corvinus (who visited Brasov in his expeditions against Vlad the Impaler of Whallachia) with Beatrix of Aragon, sometimes in the 1480s, and it shows the Virgin flanked by St Catherine and St Barbara. It is probably the most accomplished painting surviving from that period in Transylvania, located in the main northern portal of the church. #gothic #gothicpainting #fresco #mathiascorvinus #transylvania #saxontransylvania #blackchurch #schwarzekirche #brasov #kronstadt #valentinmandache #southeasteurope #casedeepoca

Your expert in historic houses, feeling unhappy, in the early 1980s while conscripted in the communist and stupid army of Romania, one of the most epic time wastings of my life. #constiption #soldier #communistarmy #romania #communistromania #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache

The early 18th c provincial baroque pulpit of the Black Church in Kronstadt/ Brasov, Saxon Transylvania. #pulpit #blackchurch #schwarzekirche #baroque #kronstadt #brasov #transylvania #saxontransylvania #casedeepoca #valentinmandache #southeasteurope

1890s Little Paris style house in Buzau, southeast Romania, prepared for renovation and plastic foam insulation of the walls (read defacing or bastardisation), then abandoned (perhaps the local heritage authorities got wind of the plans of the overenthusiastic proprietors). #littleparis #labellepoque #buzau #southeasteurope #balkans #casedeepoca #valentiamdache

You don’t mess with the Saxons of Transylvania, if you were an Ottoman army. The stern faces and demeanour of the Saxon patricians of Kronstadt/ Brasov seen on a 17th c tombstone exhibited at the Black Church cathedral. They were the people of the Christian frontier, much like the Castile used to be during the Caliphate of Cordoba. #tombstone #blackchurch #schwarzekirche #kronstadt #brasov #saxontransylvania #transylvania #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache #frontierpeople
