Stejarisu Fortified Church

The fortified church in Stejărișu (Probstdorf) was built in the 14th century as a hall church and expanded in the 15th century into a Gothic fortified complex. It is notable for its sturdy walls and defensive towers, including the characteristic "bacon tower" (Speckturm). The site served as a refuge for villagers during times of war and today stands as a significant testament to the Saxon traditions of Transylvania.
