The region of Transylvania in southeast Romania is presently known for having one of the largest counts of fortified churches that were built between the 13th and 16th centuries. There are over 150 fortified churches that have been maintained in excellent condition and they exhibit a wide range of architectural designs (originally there were 300 fortified churches).
The Villages with Fortified Churches in Transylvania, inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, consist of seven villages (six Saxon and one Székely) that were established by the Saxons of Transylvania.
These villages are notable for their fortified churches and display a unique patterning of settlement that has been conserved since the late medieval period.
The Saxon villages in Transylvania came into existence in the 12th century when the Hungarian monarchs brought in German colonists to the region.
The German settlers enjoyed a unique stature among the various ethnic groups in the province. Despite many challenges, their culture was able to flourish and endure the test of time, giving rise to a robust community of farmers, craftsmen and traders.
