This village in Alba County is considered among the most beautiful in Romania. Rimetea is a settlement famous for its tumultuous history, unique architecture and the wonderful landscape that opens as wide as the eye can see. Rimetea is situated at the foothills of Trascau Mountains, from which its old name comes from. Germans also know it as Eisenmarkt or Eisenburg, as the village was once heavily populated by Saxons.
Rimetea is a place where everything has been preserved exactly the way it was when it was built, in the 19th century. The specific white houses with green window frames are the result of a blend of Hungarian and Austrian elements, as the two nationalities were mixed here in the 18th century. The good condition in which these houses have been preserved, their unique architecture, particular to Transylvania and the wonderful scenery that surrounds them make the village a very beautiful place. Even actor Jeremy Irons was reportedly impressed by it.
Besides having this unique and charming architecture, the village is also located in a wonderful geographical area. It is surrounded from side to side by 500-600 meter calcareous massifs and traversed from north to south by the River Rimetea. In the east, the massif Piatra Secuiului (1128 m) presides over the village, causing the sun to rise twice between the months of May and September.
Rimetea received the Europa Nostra award in the year 1999 for its conservation of the cultural and architectonic heritage. This was the first time that a rural settlement received this award. The Europa Nostra prize celebrates and rewards the best achievements related to heritage conservation, management and research. Also in 1999, an architect from UNESCO visited Rimetea and being impressed with it, he proposed it for inclusion in the World Heritage.
