Next, drive to Prejmer Fortified Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Prejmer is situated near Brasov and is proud of the largest fortified church in South-Eastern Europe. The church was built starting with the 13th century and was surrounded by protective walls 3-4 meters thick and 12 meters high, fortified bulwarks, iron gates, and drawbridges.

Beside the firing vents on the walls, the fortress also had a fighting device called "the organ of death" that is a series of weapons set together and which simultaneously got fire, bringing about panic and heavy losses to the enemy part. Several rooms host a collection of crafts, tools, costumes, and objects specific for the Transylvanian Saxons.

Return to Brasov and get dropped off at your hotel or address in the city.
