Stepping back in time along Viscri

Viscri is one of the most famous villages in the heart of Romania, was made famous in Europe after Prince Charles bought a property in the village. The charming farming village with the Unesco World Heritage site label in Transylvania is a tourist attraction. Here almost everything takes you about 200 years back. Anyone who visits Viscri will feel a peaceful and emotional feeling, thanks to the ancient picturesque beauty of the village.

Once just you arrive the village from afar you can already see one of the best preserved Saxon fortresses, located in a breathtaking area. The fortress dates back to the 12th century, chapel in the early 13th century.with Gothic influences, two towers, two bastions and a gate tower. The church itself is a classic example of Romanesque architecture, with a fortified structure and thick walls.

You can climb the walls for beautiful views of the sourroundingarea.

Inside in the museum a fascinating collection of traditional saxon costumes, agricultural tools and utensils, painted wooden furniture, stores of local life during the medieval times and more.

You can imagine villagers seeking shelter here centuries ago and well lived.

One more view of the untouched nature around in July,

it was very warm at this time and its really feels good to cool down in the interior of the fortress and after that close by something fine traditional to eat and drink a cold local lemonade.

The church interior consist of wooden galleries and a simple altar.

I hope you enjoyed this great trip in the past
