BIERTAN FORTIFIED CHURCH
It's one of the most beautiful and impressive in the country. The massive late Gothic church dates from 1516. The interior is sober. Note the earthenware fireplace decorated with blue flowers, as well as the sacristy door, with its lock featuring nineteen latches that close simultaneously! This remarkable ensemble served as a residence for Lutheran bishops in the 16th and 17th centuries. It has never been conquered, so impressive is its defensive system: three fortified enclosures 12 m high, with six towers and three bastions.

Derrière le chevet droit de l'église, dans un petit bâtiment jaune à côté de la tour, vous verrez quelques meubles paysans dont un lit et un coffre de mariage à décors peints typiques des saxons de Transylvanie.
