The fortified church / fortified church Biertan
(22 October 2025)
X
(22 October 2025)
The church is located in the commune of Biertan in Sibiu County, Transylvania. Biertan is part of the first German-Saxon settlements and was already mentioned in documents in 1398 (other sources: 1402).
Like every Saxon settlement, it stands out through a series of villages arranged around a central square, above which the imposing fortified church rises. Between 1572 and 1867, Biertan was the seat of the Saxon episcopate (bishopric of the Evangelical Church A.B.), which favored the development of one of the largest rural communities in Transylvania around this fortified church.
It is a medieval and architectural treasure of Romania, definitely worth a visit.

Brateiu commune / fortified church | Sibiu County
(21 October 2025)
X
(21 October 2025)
Brateiu (also Bratei; German: Pretai, Transylvanian Saxon: Pretai or Pretua, Hungarian: Barathely) is a commune in Sibiu County.
The village was founded by German settlers and was first mentioned in 1283 as Mons Mariae (Marienberg). The village experienced its heyday towards the end of the 18th century. After complaints to Emperor Joseph II about the poor condition of the fortified church, which was in danger of collapsing — as it was built on marshy ground — were successful, the commune was expanded towards Schäßburg, the natural course of the Kokel river was diverted, and the surrounding marsh was drained.

The German colonists first settled on the hill at the back, and later the village developed in the front valley.

Cistercian documents collected and analysed by Leopold Janauschek from the 13th–15th centuries mention the monastery’s founding around 1202–1203.

Biertan | Village and fortified church / church fortress | Sibiu County
(16 September 2025)
X
(16 September 2025)
The church / church fortress is located in the commune of Biertan (in German Birthälm, in Hungarian Berethalom), Sibiu County, in Transylvania.
Biertan is part of the first Saxon settlements and was documented as early as 1398 (other sources: 1402).
Like every Saxon settlement, it stands out with a row of houses arranged around a central square, above which the imposing fortified church rises. Between 1572 and 1867, Biertan was the seat of the Saxon episcopate (the bishop's seat of the Evangelical Church A.C.), which favored the development of one of the largest peasant communities in Transylvania around this fortified church. It is a medieval and architectural treasure in Romania, definitely worth a visit.
