• 2 reviews

It's one of the region's most beautiful and best-preserved churches. It dates back to the 12th century, before the Saxons settled in the region. Rebuilt and enlarged by new German settlers in the 13th century, it was fortified in the 16th and 17th centuries to protect it from Ottoman invasions. The surrounding walls house an interesting ethnographic exhibition on Saxon customs, with a rich collection of period objects and photos, documents, painted furniture, costumes, craftsmen's tools and more.
