New St. George Church (Romanian: Biserica Sfântul Gheorghe Nou) is a Romanian Orthodox church located in Bucharest, Romania, along the city center's main north–south thoroughfare, where it intersects the Lipscani area. It is dedicated to Saint George. The church is associated with Constantin Brâncoveanu: it was built during his reign and he is buried inside. The original church on the site was surrounded by a marketplace. Archaeological excavations carried out in 1966 indicate the presence of a 15th-century church foundation beneath the present structure. Made of river boulders alternating with rows of brick, it followed the prevalent Byzantine style and was divided into narthex, nave and altar. At the beginning of the 16th century, Ban Dobruș rebuilt the church using brick. The Old St. George Church was founded before this reconstruction, and the two designations likely arose after Dobruș‘ intervention. Over the course of the century, new cells were built for an inn, as recorded by chronicler Radu Greceanu. More information...
