Fortified church in Homorod, Brașov, Fortified church in Homorod, Romania
The church features a massive eight-story tower above the choir, measuring 11 meters on each side with walls three meters thick at the base.
Built in 1270 in Romanesque style, the church received fortifications in the 15th century, including two rings of defensive walls and four corner towers.
The interior displays three layers of medieval murals in the old choir, combining Romanesque and Gothic elements from the 13th century onwards.
The church maintains a caretaker system for visits, with contact information displayed at the entrance for arranging access to the monument.
The altar tower includes narrow arrow slits, loopholes, and a plank-lined defense level designed to protect the community during medieval sieges.
