Biertan Fortified Church

Biertan is one of the regions most important Saxon villages protected by fortified churches. In fact, Biertan’s Fortified Church served as Transyvania’s Lutheran Evangelical Bishop’s seat from 1572 to 1867. Transylvanian Saxons founded the town sometime between 1224 and 1283, and it served as an economically significant commerce role until declining in significance with the rise of the nearby cities of Mediaș, Sighișoara and Sibiu.
