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 Church on the Hill (Romanian: Biserica din Deal, German: Bergkirche) is an architecturally significant church located in Sighişoara, Mureș County in Romania.This church is the most important monument of religious architecture in Sighisoara and is one of the great churches of Transylvania, being the third largest. Located at an altitude of 429 meters, on the Hilltop School, the church dominates by its massiveness the entire city and it is visible from a great distance almost from all directions. Most researchers believe that a number of architectural details such as slightly misaligned position of the bell-tower and choir demonstrate an evolution in stages, over several centuries, in the construction of this church.

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.
