The fortified Evangelical Church from Saschiz, in Mureș County, was built in the XIIIth century.
Based on an ancient Roman basilica, a large fortified church was built in 1493, in the honor of King Stephen I of Hungary. The massive church is built of stone, in Gothic style hall type and is reinforced with 22 abutments.
Saschiz is very impressive due to its huge proportions and the way that the fortifying elements have been adapted. But even all the defensive elements are eventually surpassed by the beauty of its Gothic architecture: huge arches, massive buttress and decorations.
