A beautiful photo of the fortified church/peasant castle of Tartlau in Prejmer (Tartlau), Brasov county, Transylvania.

The construction of the church in the centre of the complex was probably started in 1218 by the Teutonic Order, which was expelled from the region in 1225. Construction was then continued under the Cistercian monastery of Kerz. A special feature of the inventory is the late Gothic winged altar from the mid-15th century.

Rupea Fortress / Castle ( first mentioned in 1324, German name: Burg Reps ) is located near the town of Rupea, which is halfway between Brașov and Sighișoara, in the northern part of the Brașov district.

Rupea Fortress was a refuge for the population of surrounding villages in the repeated sieges of Turks and Tartars. It was built in 1324 during the Saxon uprising against the Hungarian king Carol Robert of Anjou. Later, residents added three defensive towers and two courtyards to the first building, which served as a shelter. In the first courtyard there is a deep well of 59 meters, which still carries water to this day.
