The Fortified Church of Prejmer, Fortified church in Prejmer, Romania.
The stone walls rise 12 meters high around the central Gothic church, creating a defensive ring with storage rooms and living quarters.
The Teutonic Knights initiated construction in 1240, developing it into a military stronghold that resisted 50 attacks during the medieval period.
The church interior holds a triptych altar from 1450, decorated with scenes from the life of Jesus, reflecting medieval Transylvanian religious art.
Visitors can explore 272 storage rooms distributed across four levels, with guided tours available from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 and 17:00.
Each family in the village maintained a dedicated room within the fortified walls, storing food supplies and seeking refuge during enemy attacks.
