Cristian Fortified Church

Very little has been preserved of the Early-Gothic basilica built and dedicated to Saint Nicholas in the 13th century. The old church was demolished in 1839 and a new hall church with square pillars, cross springers and groin vaults was built until 1841. There are brick-built galleries above round arches in the aisles. The choir has a polygonal 5/8 apse. An oval-shaped double enclosing wall surrounds the church. There is a gate tower with an outwork in the southwest part of the ensemble. The inner wall is 6-10m high and 1.5-2m thick.
