The Gothic hilltop church was completely renovated from 1993 to 1999 with funds from the Messerschmitt Foundation. Several altars from abandoned Saxon congregations in the Sighisoara church district are on display there. The hall church, built on the site of a 12th-century Romanesque chapel, was built in three phases up to around 1525, primarily between 1429 and 1488. Like the entire old town of Sighisoara, the hilltop church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Sighisoara Hill Church is a Gothic three-aisled hall church that is visible from afar on the plateau of the Schulberg (429 m above sea level) in Sighisoara, Transylvania, Romania. Its high Gothic roof is crowned by a pointed bell tower. Along with the clock tower, the Hill Church, built between 1429 and 1488, is a landmark of the city. Until the Reformation in Transylvania, it was under the patronage of Nicholas of Myra.
