Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

August 11, 2024

The Evangelical Church is an architectural monument from the second half of the 14th century, representing the transition from Gothic to Renaissance in Transylvania. The church tower is 75 meters high and is the highest medieval tower in Romania, only a few centimeters higher than the tower of the Evangelical Cathedral in Sibiu. An elevator takes you to the top of the tower and you can enjoy the view over the city. Under the walls of the current church are the foundations of the early 14th century church built by the first Saxon settlers. The Roman Catholic church, originally dedicated to Saint Nicholas, became Lutheran when the congregation converted to the Protestant faith during the Reformation.

On June 11, 2008 at 7 p.m., a fire broke out at the base of the church tower. Due to the fir wood framework with which the tower was covered during renovation work, the flames quickly spread to the top of the tower. In less than half an hour, the roof of the tower and the roofs of three of the small turrets collapsed. The fire was probably started by three children aged between 12 and 15 who were collecting scrap metal.
