One of the best preserved in Transylvania. Atop a hill, it offers breathtaking views. Built in 1335 to protect the village from possible attackers, particularly the Tatars, it was subsequently transformed several times. Its 5-meter-high walls included nine defensive towers. In 1690, during the city's last siege, the fortress was taken by the Turks. Damaged by fire in 1718, then by an earthquake in 1802, it served as a final refuge during the revolutions of 1821 and 1848.

Le château a été construit par les Chevaliers de l'ordre teutonique en tant que protection contre l'invasion des invasions tartares et ottomanes en 1335. Il est maintenant un peu poussiéreux, mais il vaut la peine de monter à travers les vues que l'on peut voir et de contempler "les entrailles" de sa construction Une promenade à travers le château peut vous prendre plus d'une heure et demie.
