West Portal of the Fortified Church of Biertan

The double-door west portal, with its rich profile (Gothic bar frame) and the cantilevered lintel arch with central post, is one of the most important late Gothic architectural sculptures in Transylvania. The coats of arms of the Hungarian King Vladislaw II Jagiello (1490 - 1510) and the voivode Johann Zápolya (1510 - 1516) above the portal indicate a time of creation between 1510 and 1516. The year 1524 is indented in the field above the left portal. Two medallions to the right and left of the two coats of arms show an oath hand and a six-pointed star with a crescent moon. There was probably once a statue on the empty console on the central pillar, perhaps a representation of the church's patron saint, Mary.
