it speaks of the Romanian cathedral of Cluj. Cluj-Napoca is situated in northwest Transylvania. The cathedral was built between 1923 and 1933.
Romania - Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania - was united in 1918.

Very Interesting Stamp.
If you intend to put it on ebay, please let me know.

Not a listed Romanian Revenue.
Not listed in the Official Romanian Culture Fund stamps.

All I can think, is an unofficial Culture fund stamp for Cluj.
I'll keep looking.

Cluj Cathedral

@Rod,

I think you have the wrong cathedral. The one you show stands on a central square on the edge of the old town. It is the Saxon Protestant one. It is Gothic and one of the biggest in Romania. This was restored between 1957 and 1960. In the old town, near the old home of Mathias Corvinus, there is a Baroque one. That is the catholic one. The Romanian Orthodox cathedral is a modern one - a white one in Greek Cross shape - that stands on yet another and biggest square on the edge of the town centre. This square also has some a number of hotels around it.

The stamp speaks of "Romanian Cathedral." It is likely that refers to the Romanian Orthodox one. The icon on the stamp better fits either an Orthodox or Catholic Cathedral. The Christ Pantocrator is very popular in Orthodox churches. Furthermore, in the period, there was a shift away from the Saxon cathedrals towards Orthodox churches. Many were built from the unification in 1918.

I would not be surprised if the obligatory tax was not to restore the Protestant one - not really a cathedral either - but to built the Orthodox one. Romanian sources date the building to 1920 - 1930, Wikipedia in English dates it to 1923-1933.
