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.

At the end of 14th century, the three-aisled Gothic basilica with west tower dedicated to Saint John was built on a hill in the centre of the village. The choir display chamfered and pear-shaped ribs that rest on engaged pillars with capitals. The sacrament alcove, keystones, a richly decorated sedile and traceried windows represent the valuable architectural sculpture. An oval enclosing wall surrounds the church. In the south stands a gate tower with portcullis grooves, next to it a chapel whose choir is placed before the curtain wall.  More information can be found on Agramonia.

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.

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.

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.
