This lace was really nice. Beautifully reserved, no crowds, and just simply enjoying the in the shade oh the of Romanian culture. Thank you🤩 Well preserved. We got up to the tower, don't go if you are afraid of high or narrow places. We enjoyed the visit, with a guide it is possible that it would have been better. One of the best well kept churches that I've visited. Such a pleasant, quiet and airy vibe once you enter the courtyard. You have museum part, ramparts, with the highest in the vicinity - 56m - which you can climb and see the view of the county. The souvenir shop also has some good maps and visual representations on paper of the local history. Give this place a try! P.S.: You can also camp near the (see attached photo) It is a well preserved church. You find here a museum, a chapel and a toilet. Be careful when you the tower, because the is active! A restaurant near! Super amazing historical site. It was so much fun checking out the inner sanctum of the and dwellings. You can even check out the old dwelling cells, climb the tower, and even walk the top of the walls. The old chapel is also worthy of a with its medieval frescoes An absolute gem, we loved seeing it! It stands as a real piece of and it is great learning about the local and how it helped the community. We love that they take care of the stray kitties as well - they have over 18 and we can see that they are cat lovers ☺️🐈 It really makes you feel like you are part of a book which is set many centuries before. It is quite and adventure to climb the but very as well! The guide is also a very person who can tell you many interesting stories. A place which you will remember forever! Truly an amazing place to visit. I had never seen a before and walked inside a huge defensive circular wall. Everything was well preserved if a bit dusty but felt very real. We received a booklet in English explaining all about it and thoroughly explored every single bit! We even climbed the which was very steep with open wooden steps at the top. Make sure you have special interest in ethnographic content and you have no problem with steep stairs. We very much enjoyed the possibility to walk inside the fortifications and into the tower. In every August, Teutonic Fest is organized inside the citadel and the atmosphere is amazing. It is a really good place to spend some family time,even with small children. The great thing is ,you can climb the bells , where the views are very nice. Inside you're gonna feel like you're in a small museum . Excellently maintained Saxon Church. I thinks it’s very underrated: no crowds, lots of areas to explore at your own leisure (church, tower, living quarters, wall, etc.), and much cheaper than similar attractions around Brasov. The staff speak excellent English. I was there while the Teutonic Fest was held inside the Church's walls, in the yard. The itself is a piece of that you'll enjoy visiting. People are very friendly and would help you in any way they can. If you also get there during the festival, this year's edition (2025) was a very experience with a lot of events and activities that children would enjoy. Our group’s to the in Harman was definitely a highlight of our trip. The structure is pretty well-preserved and makes for a fascinating exploration. They provide a small booklet at the entrance (you return it afterward) with basic information. Although we found ourselves curious to learn more about the and different spaces, you can tell they're making the most with the ressources they have. We had hoped to compare it with Prejmer's church, but unfortunately found the hours on their website and Google Maps were incorrect when we arrived there. Harman has the advantage of a clock you can climb, which adds a dimension to the visit. Just be prepared for some steep wooden ladders and stairs if you decide to go up! The man who works there thoughtfully warns visitors about the that rings every 15 minutes—it's quite loud when you're up there so cover your eyes or it properly! Similar to Prejmer, you can explore nearly all the rooms and walk inside the walls, which gives you a real sense of the place. Their hours are usually as follows: • Summer (April-October): Monday-Saturday 9-18, Sunday 10-18 • Winter (November-March): Daily 10-16 A pleasant surprise was meeting the cats that roam the grounds. Though I'm allergic, my friends enjoyed petting them, and I didn't have any reaction since most areas are open-air. The man who works there shared that he rescues street cats and dogs, currently caring for over 20. During Covid, he had taken in 36 animals! Some items in the gift shop are even designed by local artists featuring these cats. If you're in Transylvania, this is definitely worth a visit. The is surrounded by medieval fortifications, including living quarters, some of which are arranged as museum. The guard watch route and can also be visited. The complez does have a small shop with woodwork souvenirs mostly. I would recommend caution when visiting during the weekend or on religious holidays as the is fulfills its function (ex: Sunday mass, weddings, etc.) This place is an absolute magic. So beautifully preserved, you can see how much efforts and love was put into it. I've been there on Mon and was the only visitor there pretty much the entire time. Could have easily spent there 3hr just relaxing and soaking up some history. Most of the premises are open for public, the exhibits are interesting and authentic, the architecture is breathtaking. Plenty of cats who definitely add on to the atmosphere. Next I'm in Romania, I will make sure to pop in. Great! Recommended! If you love hidden gems, this is one of the best places to spend in. Few tourists, the floor of the old squeaked as we walked by. A lot to offer waiting for you to discover.
