Cloașterf - Fortified Church

At Cloașterf we discover the Saxon village of Mures county, whose fortified church is one of the most compact in Transylvania. This is mainly due to the continuity of its construction, between 1521 and 1524, by a single builder: the master Ștefan Ungar, from Sighișoara. The building was conceived from the design stage as a fortified church, with murder holes between the buttresses. It had to withstand an attack with firearms. It is surrounded by a defensive wall, which forms an enclosure, with corner towers and a lectern roof. The parapets of the 18th century three-side gallery inside the church are decorated with floral motifs and paintings illustrating different fortified churches.
