About

The Romanesque basilica built in the 14th century with three nave, polygonal chancel and west tower served as Maria’s sanctuary until the Reformation. From the fortification system built in the 15th/16th centuries only the defence level on the tower and the ruins of the fortification wall are still preserved. The defence levels above the nave and chancel were destroyed in a fire and dismantled in the 19th century. Today the church shows untypical non-plastered stone wall, as result of the restoration of 1913 that followed the tradition of the 19th century. In addition to the significant frescoes, the church shows many excellent carvings, as the tracery of the windows, the western portal and other sculptural details.
The interior of the church shelters one of the oldest Gothic winged altar, having the Mother of God as the central motif, and a late Gothic pew with carvings, coming from the workshop of Johann Reychmut.

Biserica fortificată din Șomartin

The village, with its irregular network of alleys, is situated on a hill on which a three-nave Romanesque basilica with a west tower was built, dedicated to St. Martin in the 13th century. The entrance to the church hall is through a plain west portal with semicircular archivolt and round-arched piers. The nave is spanned by a cross-ribbed vault supported by transoms and pilasters. Around 1500, a sacristy was built to the south of the chancel. In the 18th century, the aisles were raised and the brick galleries were installed.  More information can be found on Agramonia.

Fortified church Copsa Mare

The church was originally built in gothic architecture, and later in the 16th century, fortified to fit the defensive requirements at the time. The outer wall was also constructed during fortification of the church. Although much of the altar inside was crafted 19th century and later build in, there is still some reminisce of this late gothic altar in the city parish church in Sibiu. The organ is dated to the year of 1800.  More information can be found on Agramonia.

Fortified church Dealu frumos

The church is situated in a side valley of the Hartibaci valley and has strong castle walls to all sides. The classical decorations inside are lavish and the tower stretches high. The monument dates to the 13th century and has been constantly enlarged. The fortified church in Dealul Frumos is one of the most conclusive examples of church-fortresses in southern Transylvania, owing to its position in the village and in the landscape and, above all, to the extent medieval structure and the harmonious relations established between the individual parts and the whole fortified church.  More information can be found on Agramonia.

Fortified church in Movile

The history of the church, originally built in Romanesque style, goes back to the first half of the 13th century. Most fortified churches in Transylvania had their belltower or donjon added later, but the church in Movile had already a belltower before the fortification. Instead the donjon was built above the choir, something very uncommon here. Today the church and its ensemble are threatened by decay.  More information can be found on Agramonia.

Biserica fortificată din Iacobeni

Biserica în sine a fost construită în secolul al XIV-lea, în stil gotic. A fost fortificată în anii 1500. Apoi a fost fortificată și mai mult cu un zid de apărare la mijlocul secolului al XVI-lea. Mijlocul și corul sunt amândouă mai mari decât în cele mai multe alte castele bisericești și este relativ bine întreținută. Donjonul său domină orizontul orașului Iacobeni. Mobilierul din biserică este în cea mai mare parte din secolele XVII și XVIII. Există, de asemenea, un epitaf deasupra amvonului care îl înfățișează probabil pe Michael Schullerus, care a murit în 1748. Amvonul a fost construit în secolul al XVI-lea.  Mai multe informații găsiți pe Agramonia.
