St. Nicholas Church is a Romanian Orthodox landmark in the Șchei district, dating back to the 13th century but rebuilt in the 18th century in a distinctive Brâncovenesc style. The church features a tall bell tower and a richly painted interior with frescoes and a carved iconostasis. It is closely tied to the First Romanian School, as early Romanian scholars and priests served here. Visitors can admire the architecture, the historic icons, and the peaceful courtyard, which also contains a monument to the school's founders.
