Dârste Church

The Dârste Church is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 255 Calea București, Brașov, Romania. Located in Dârste, a former village that is now a district of Brașov, it is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. Before the church was built, the local Orthodox community worshiped in Săcele and Brașov. In 1783, during a visit by Joseph II, the villagers handed him a petition requesting permission to establish a church. This was soon granted, and the first ktetor purchased a plot of land. Later, in 1796, Bishop Gerasim Adamović consecrated the church. The architectural style resembles that of other Orthodox churches in Țara Bârsei. In terms of shape, height and exterior decor, it recalls four historic churches of Săcele.
