Courtyard of Viscri fortified church

The origins of the fortified church date from 1100 when the SzÃ©kelys built a small church with a single hall and semicircular apse. Around 1185 the church was taken over by Saxon colonists, and the SzÃ©kelys were forced to settle further north. In the 14th century the eastern part of the church was rebuilt and in 1525, the first fortifications with towers were added. In the 18th century the church was surrounded by a second defense wall.
