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 other Transylvanian fortified churches, Viscri was built around 1100 by the Szekler population and taken over by Saxon colonists in 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.
Viscri is also known due to the great job in restoring done by the Mihai 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.
Enjoy the view from the Tower. Looking all arround from the tower, you will see the tiled roofs of the village between the trees and all the natural surrounding.

The village of Borpatakhoz was originally a small Hungarian Catholic village documented in 1853, which had a flourishing period during the 1850s due to mining of gold, silver, zinc, copper, and lead that extracted over 2,000 tonnes of silver and other metals. After Transylvania unified with Romania, the mines closed and farming became the main occupation for villagers. Currently, most inhabitants speak Romanian rather than Hungarian due to a lack of Hungarian education in the area.
