Lutheran church in Cisnădie, Sibiu, Fortress church in Cisnădie, Romania
The Lutheran church features Gothic architectural elements with thick defensive walls, multiple towers, and a surrounding moat for protection against invasions.
Originally constructed as a Romanesque basilica in the 12th century, the church underwent fortification modifications during the 15th century to shield Saxon settlers.
The church interior contains a notable triptych altar from 1520, created by the school of Veit Stoss Jr, representing religious artistry of medieval Transylvania.
Located 10 kilometers from Sibiu, the church compound includes several museums displaying medieval defensive structures and local historical exhibitions.
