Cisnădie Town Square and Fortified Church

Highlight • Historical Site

The fortified evangelical church of Cisnadie is a historical and architectural monument from the 13th century. The building was initially erected as a Romanesque basilica dedicated to Saint Walpurga. Although the it underwent numerous transformations through time and lost its Romanesque aspect, the base structure of the construction remains unchanged and it worths paying it a visit in order to admire this medieval arhitectural jewel.

Cisnădioara Fortified Church (Michelsberg Fortified Church)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Michael Church was built shortly after 1200 and is therefore the oldest Romanesque church in Transylvania. In the period from 1204 to 1233, the area around the Michelsberg with the associated church was handed over by the Probstei Hermannstadt (Sibiu) in exchange for the area of Probstdorf (Stejeris) to King Andreas II. He gave the newly acquired land including the church to the Walloon clergyman Magister Gocelinus. This in turn left the area in 1223 to the Abbey of Kerz (Carta). The place Michelsberg was first mentioned in 1322, the church in 1223.

The construction of the castle began around 1200 and ended in 1280. A square residential tower stood free in the east, the foundations of which were uncovered in 1964 and 1966. Around 1450 the castle was strengthened and a new gate tower was built. In 1850 there were still large, round stones on the ring wall, which used to be rolled down on attackers.
