SAXON VILLAGE OF BRATEIU

Located 6 km from Mediaș, this beautiful village of 2,000 inhabitants, called Prețai in German, features a beautiful Gothic basilica. Dating from the ^14th century, it was extensively remodeled and fortified in the ^15th century. Among other modifications, a wooden parapet walk was added to the bell tower. The church served as a training center for craftsmen specializing in the renovation of fortified churches, but work was interrupted during the pandemic and never resumed. Today, the village's population is predominantly Roma. You can get there by train.
