Rasnov Fortified Church

The peasant fortress is perched on a 150m high limestone rock, east of Râsnov. The rock drops steeply on three sides and access is gained from the east via the gate tower and the zwinger built in front of the main part of the ensemble. The dome-shaped mountain top is surrounded by a generally 5m-high enclosing wall. There is an outwork and a gate tower with oak gate and portcullis in the southeast section of the fortress. There is a pentagonal tower built in front of the east section of the wall.
