Harman - Transylvania - Romania

Harman Fortified Church is located only 10 kilometers from Brasov, in the village of Harman (Honigburg in German, meaning Honey Castle). It’s one of the best-preserved fortifications used by the Saxon colonists centuries ago when enemy attacks were a constant threat.
Its history dates back to the 13th century when Saxons built the original structure. The church of St Nikolaus inside the walls is in the Romanesque style and features a fine Baroque altar and triptych. Within the thickness of the walls of the fortifications there are rooms for the village families to occupy together with storage and animal quarters.
