Netus Fortified Church

Netuș was a free village in the Sighişoara Chair. A Gothic hall church dedicated to Saint Nicholas was built in the 14th century; it had a small choir with a 5/8 apse and a west tower. In a second construction phase at the end of 15th century, the hall was covered by a Late-Gothic ribbed star vault. A massive tower standing on a two-meter-thick fundament was built above the choir. There are valuable pieces of Gothic architectural sculptures in the choir, such as: consoles, vault ribs, keystones, a sacrament niche and doorframes. The west tower was demolished in 1860 and a polygonal west choir was erected by master builder Rudolf Neuendorf from Sighişoara.
