Just west of Sibiu lies the village of Cristian (German: Grossau), one of the towns and villages founded by the Transylvanian Saxons. Built in the 13th century, the Romanesque church was converted into a Gothic Fortified Church between 1472 and 1498. Such a fortified churches served as a refuge for the population in times of distress. The urgent need for fortified churches was evident from the fact that Cristian was destroyed by the Turks in 1493. A second defensive wall was built around the church around 1550, followed in 1580 by the large octagonal tower on the south side. Although this fortified church is not included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO, it is certainly an interesting destination! Grande chiesa Din pacate, zilele astea daca ajungi singur sau împreună cu familia (dar mai putin de 5 persoane) in zona si vrei sa o vizitezi răspunsul este "NU". Din exterior pare faină. Cam atât. Very beautiful Fortified Church that seems that has been recently restored and is being taken care of. Once you enter, the keepers, a lady that we have encountered, was very frendyl and welcoming, and walked us through the place and showcased the history. Small entrance fee, donations are more than welcome. Also, there is a possibility to buy home made marmalade, pálinka, speck. Piękny You can camp inside the walls of the Fortified Church and this is a special experience. You can also rent a room. O locație pe care nu trebuie să o ocolești, dacă ajungi prin zonă Csengetésre nem nyitottak ajtót, telefonszám vaan kiírva, de csak 5 főtől fogadnak. Kapun lévő ismertető román, német és angol nyelvű. It's nice. There's a visiting fee and if you whant some proffessional photos taken....get ready to pay even more. All in the Lord's name of course. Inside, there are not a lot of trashbins. Actually, i had to get out with the pockets full of garbage. Nice place to visit in Cristian, well maintained, nice host (keeper). You can visit the church, tower, small museum, surroundings. I know you can stay overnight, never tried though. The storks are amazing in this town, there is a nest that can be seen from the church's yard:). Also this is the only place where I saw storks walking on the alleys... if you're lucky, i guess:). You may buy various prouducts from there, mostly seeets, a bit expensive but very tasty. Wonderfull, full of history. Pay a visit! Superb. Excellent place to visit. They also have camping places and rooms if you want to sleep here. Beautiful, absolutely worth seeing. :) Went to a wedding there. Excellent venue. Am fost in weekend la această biserică. Frumoasa pe exterior. Nu am putut sa intram înăuntru deoarece eram doar 2 persoane și aparent aceștia se aflau "in concediu". Puteam suna la Nr de telefon lăsat la poarta, dar trebuia să fim minim 5 persoane, că să se deranjeze cineva sa vina sa ne deschidă. Din păcate nu scria cat timp durează acest "concediu". Mediaval feeling .
