Peasant Fortified Church at Prejmer
1 hour
Visit Pejmer Fortified Church. One of Eastern Europe's best preserved fortified churches. This superbly preserved complex has the most powerful fortified walls in Transylvania at 4.5m thick. Prejmer’s fortress was originally constructed in the early 1200s by Teutonic Knights. The 270 store rooms were once used by Prejmer’s inhabitants during times of war when each family would retreat into its own room.
