About

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.
