2023-06-19 11-49 Valea Viilor: Biserica evanghelica fortificata

            Valea Viilor (The Valley of the Vines) is a village of 2000 inhabitants, located in a famous wine-growing area, 40km north of Sibiu.

Since 1999 it is part of the UNESCO heritage.

The fortified evangelical church was built on the remains of an older romanesque church. The Gothic church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in the fourteenth century. Fortification work in the sixteenth century gave the present appearance of the church. The building is defended by a wall of a height of 6 to 7 meters built on an oval plane. The wall has 3 bastions, a walkway, loopholes and an access door that can be closed by a portcullis.
