Cisnadioara (Michelsberg)

Romanesque style Basilica built out of stone in the 12th century. The walls around it were built in the 13th century, and because the slopes of the hill on which the church was built are very steep, even though they only measure 2-3 meters on the inside, on the outside they are 4-5 meters tall.
The door at the entrance of the fortification is the original oak door.

Work on the wooden fortress began in the 13th century. Stone replaced the wood in the 14th and 15th centuries. The fortress and the castle were built by the second half of the 16th century.
