From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dormition of the Theotokos Church (Romanian: Biserica Adormirea Maicii Domnului) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 18 Ion Lahovary Street, Constanța, Romania. It is dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos.

The building is the city's second-oldest Romanian church, after what is now the cathedral. It was constructed for residents of a new neighborhood that extended beyond the historic limits of the city. Bishop Pimen Georgescu approved the project in 1906, and the church was consecrated in 1911.[1]

The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.[2]
