The fortified church of Apold
Situated 16 km from Sighisoara, the fortified evangelical church of Apold stands on a hill in the village center. Built originally in the 13th century as a Romanesque basilica, it was rebuilt in late Gothic style in the 15th century with an imposing western tower. The present complex was completed in the 15th-16th centuries. The clock tower has murder holes; a defensive gallery is above the chancel. The church is enclosed by double walls with towers and gate towers.
