    In the church fortress you can discover the Celtic symbol of the green man. This is an absolute exception for Romanian churches.

    The church in Richiș (German: Reichesdorf) is a significant example of late Gothic religious architecture in Transylvania and is one of the region's most historically interesting fortified churches.

    Originally built as a Catholic basilica in the 14th century, it was later converted into a Protestant fortified church by the Transylvanian Saxons.

    The church was dedicated to Saint Paul and served both religious and defensive purposes.

    In the 16th century, it was expanded into a fortified church with walls, battlements, and a defense tower.
