InitiallyÌýRoman Catholic, it became Lutheran following theÌýReformation.
Viscri is a small village, with no more than 500 inhabitants, from which only about 27 are Saxons. People say that Viscri hide the most picturesque fortified church of the Saxons from Transylvania.
Unlike otherÌýTransylvanian fortified churches, Viscri was built around 1100 by the Szekler population and taken over byÌýSaxon colonistsÌýin 1185. This explains why this unique gothic church displays a plain straight ceiling rather than a traditional vaulted one. In the 14th century, the eastern section was rebuilt and around 1525, the first fortification walls with towers were added.Ìý
Viscri is also known due to the great job in restoring done by theÌýMihai Eminescu Trust, the foundation patroned by The Prince of Wales. What is less known is that the work and the efforts of the foundation covers not only Viscri, but many other Saxon villages in Transylvania.
Do not miss the Museum of the Church which has many interesting objects. There are furniture and typical tools of ancient crafts. And the few original clothes reveal amazing, charming decoration.

It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site along with six other fortified churches in southern Transylvania. During dangerous times, villagers sought refuge within the strong defensive walls surrounding the small Romanesque chapel, making the church a religious, cultural, and military center.Viscri

- 2. • Viscri, formerly Giscriu is a village in Buneşti commune in Brasov county, Transylvania, Romania. Withdrew from the highway connecting Brasov to Sighisoara, Viscri village shelters one of the most spectacular Saxon fortified churches, being one of the six UNESCO World Heritage sites. The peculiarities of the settlement have attracted the attention and benevolence of the Mihai Eminescu Trust, a foundation sponsored by Prince Charles himself, who renovated the church and some houses in the locality, giving them something of the original splendor. The isolation, but also the absence of other occupations besides agriculture, made the project of Natural Wool Socks in Viscri initiated by the two Germans established here in the late 1990s.
- 3. • The crocheted socks of old wool sweaters by women in the village were initially given in exchange for food (sugar, oil or bread). As the pile of socks began to grow steadily, with time the trocade turned into a real project involving 125 women in the village. The peasants knit about 10,000 pairs of socks, gloves, hats, sweaters or felt slippers that arrive at the central warehouse in Naumburg (Germany) where they sell all over the country, or at the international café in Viscri
- 4. Placing • It is a settlement from the plateau of Transylvania, near Sighisoara, originally inhabited by Szeklers, then colonized by Saxons in the 16th century. XIII. At present there is a beautiful evangelical church, fortified in the style of the fortified Saxon churches in Transylvania. Situated between the two roads connecting Rupea de Sighişoara and Medias, Viscri village could be reached ten years ago by its own means of locomotion. Due to its withdrawn position, the most archaic costume from the 17th-19th centuries was preserved here.
- 5. History • Viscri is one of the most picturesque and, despite its size, not very large, monumental Saxon peasant fortresses, which includes among its walls one of the few Romanesque churches of the 13th century. The seated position of the settlement explains its relatively late appearance in the documents. Only in 1400, the "Alba ecclesia" (alias Viscri) appears in a register of localities to pay the tax due to the episcopate, the county of Rupea (Kosd). In 1500, Viscri is listed among the communes of the Rupea Chair, with 51 households, three shepherds, a teacher and two poor.
