St. Nicholas–Buzești Church (Romanian: Biserica Sfântul Nicolae–Buzești) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 2-4 Alexandru Ioan Cuza Boulevard, Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. At the time of its founding, the church was located at the northern limit of the city, in an area full of gardens, vineyards and vacant lots, owned by 40-50 members of the carpenters’ guild. As noted in the original pisanie, the church was built between 1847 and 1854, following approval by the local authorities. Among the ktetors was the celebrated Dobre “Dulgherul” (the Carpenter), who also worked as a builder. The portico was added in 1873; according to the new pisanie of 1897, it was later repaired and repainted by Gheorghe Ioanide. The church burned in 1899, and the domes were renovated during the major repairs of 1910-1911. The stained-glass windows of 1911 were redone in 1946. In World War I, the occupying German Army requisitioned the church bells and used the bronze for producing shells; new bells were cast in 1925. In 1924, the facades, choir, mosaic flooring and painting were redone and the portico rebuilt; the structure was re-sanctified the following year.Following damage during the 1940 earthquake and the 1944 bombardment, the church underwent restoration in 1942-1946, 1960 and 1964. The painting was repaired after the 1977 earthquake, and the exterior panels were executed in 1990. On the night of 7-8 December 1991, all valuables inside were robbed, following which the church was set on fire. The interior painting, furniture, iconostasis and liturgical objects were destroyed, the walls calcined and the domes cracked. Services were temporarily held in the undamaged portico. Repairs took place in 1992-1997, and a new sanctification occurred in 2004.The cross-shaped Neoclassical church measures 27 meters long by 8.5 to 11 meters wide, with side apses in slight relief, circular on the exterior. It has two domes: a larger octagonal one above the nave, and a square bell tower above the narthex. Both are made of masonry, with flattened roofs. The facades are lined with pilasters, the exterior a simple one, in profile. The high windows end in arches; they alternate with niches featuring icons of saints. The western facade ends in a trapezoid. The portico, smaller than the rest of the church but with a similar trapezoid, features three arches, closed by windows and doors. The church is entered through the south face of the portico, and its yard is planted with trees and flowers.The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

It was designed by architect Duiliu Marcu (1885–1966), who had designed many major buildings in 1920s and 30s Romania, including many major government projects in the 1930s and 40s. The Victory Palace is a stylised monumental classical design, with an arcaded ground level, a long colonnade of slim piers on the main front, and two recessed top floors. The facades were entirely clad in Carrara marble, with reliefs in the panels at either end, and there were generously decorated interiors.The building suffered heavy damage in the 1944 Bombing of Bucharest in World War II.

The Manea Brutaru Church (Romanian: Biserica Manea Brutaru) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 4 General Constantin Budișteanu Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The church was built in 1787 by Manea Brutaru, head of the guild of bakers (brutari), for the members of the Popa Radu parish; he replaced a small wooden church of this name, perhaps founded by a priest named Radu. The new masonry structure was completed on August 15, as noted in the pisanie. In 1798, Prince Constantine Hangerli ordered the construction of two buildings in the courtyard, for housing 80 orphans, both boys and girls. Eight cells were built for this purpose in 1801; later in the 19th century, a school functioned there. The 1838 earthquake severely damaged the church, collapsing its dome. Repairs were carried out in 1858, including a restoration of the iconostasis, brought from a metochion of the Râmnic Diocese. The interior was repainted in 1898.The church measures 26.3 meters long by 8-10 meters wide, with an enclosed portico that was added later, a large narthex and a three-lobed nave, with two side apses and one at the altar. The short portico and adjacent part of the narthex (8 by 3 meters), above which sits the choir area, date to the 1858 reparation. The narthex has a vaulted ceiling, while the square-based dome, coated in tin, rests on the nave. The facade, which retains a certain degree of Brâncovenesc influence, is divided into two sections by a plain string course. On three sides of the lower half, there are pairs of arched frames flanked by columns. The upper part lacks decoration, except for a few recesses on the east and west painted with icons of saints. The portico facade features pilasters in bossage and contours of neoclassical influence, a style that also informs the cornice, dome and narthex addition. The interior oil painting depicts a series of saints on the walls and a starry sky on the ceiling. It covers older work by a student of Gheorghe Tattarescu.The yard, which includes a one-floor residential building, is much smaller than in the past; on the north side, there is a stone cross raised by Manea in 1814. The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
