Biertan, parish and fortified church: the three portals of the church were preserved in the original medieval state.
Both the tile structure and the doors themselves date from the 16th century, and the castle on the north portal is a so-called Vexier Castle*.

The door lock to the sacristy has 13 locks, dating from the 15. Century (bears the year 1515) and was presented in 1905 in Paris for the World's Fair.

* is a locking device, in which the opening can be done with a hidden / camouflaged device, if the locking has not been previously closed
