MEDIAȘ FORTIFIED CHURCH

Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

Accessible from the main square via a small covered passageway, the fortified Evangelical church of Sainte-Marguerite was built in the 15th century. It is Gothic in style. Of its six original towers, only four remain. Known as the "Tour des Trompettes", its impressive sloping bell tower, almost 70 m high, was used to observe and warn of danger.
