Richis Fortified Church

The fortified church of Richiș was built in the 14th century and is surrounded by mighty protective walls with two defensive towers. The basilica impresses with intricate carvings, richly decorated altar furnishings, and symbolic details. The most important construction phase was documented in 1451, while fortifications were added around 1500. The fortified church is an outstanding testament to medieval architecture and religious culture in the Mediaș region.
