Gusterita Fortified Church

A short Romanesque basilica with a west tower was built at the beginning of 13th century, of which only the square pillars, the cross vaults of the aisles, the southern apsidiole and fragments of the south and of the north portals are extant. The church was rebuilt in Gothic style at the end of 15th century. The east apse got a 5/8 termination in the upper part, the choir was covered with a brick-ribbed cross vault. Gothic lancet windows were built into the walls. The chancel arch, too, got a pointed arch. A defence storey was built above the choir. A groin vault with penetrations and cross springers covers the nave at present.
