Sebeș Lutheran church

The stone walls of this medieval church rise from the central square of Sebeș, featuring a tall bell tower and Gothic architectural elements.

Construction of the original Romanesque basilica began in 1201, but the Mongol invasion of 1241 led to its destruction and subsequent Gothic reconstruction.

The church maintains German-language services, reflecting the historical presence of the Transylvanian Saxon community that established this religious structure.

Visitors can access the bell tower during specific hours to view the surrounding town landscape, with entrance fees supporting church maintenance.

The church bells, replaced in 1925, stand as replacements for the original ones that were melted down for ammunition during World War I.
