The Church of Saint Nicholas dominates the Schei neighbourhood. It was built in 1495 and rebuilt in stone in the early 16th century by the Wallachian Princes Vlad the Monk and Neagoe Basarab.
It is in this church that Metropolitan Coresi (1510-1581) opened the first school in Romanian and a printing press. The church was painted by Mi║u Popp (1827-1892), an artist of Bra║ov origin.
