Fortified church in Cața

The stone church features thick defensive walls, multiple towers, and a protective curtain wall designed to shield the local population during conflicts.

Saxon colonists established this religious fortress in the mid-12th century as part of their settlement expansion across Transylvania under Hungarian kingdom protection.

The church represents Saxon architectural traditions through its combination of religious elements and military engineering specific to medieval Transylvanian constructions.

Visitors can access the church through guided tours that explain the defensive systems and religious architecture of medieval Transylvanian Saxon communities.

The structure contains storage rooms within its fortified walls where villagers kept their grain supplies during times of siege or conflict.
