The Church between the Fir trees (Romanian: Biserica dintre brazi), otherwise the Church of Saints Peter and Paul (Biserica Sfinții Petru și Pavel), is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 17 Reconstrucției Street, Sibiu, Romania.
The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.[1] The church was Greek-Catholic prior to 1948, when the nascent communist regime outlawed the church and confiscated its properties.
Important 19th-century and 20th-century figures are buried in the church cemetery, including George Bariț, Alexandru Papiu Ilarian, Ioan Rațiu and Alexandru Vaida-Voevod.
