Marpod Fortified Church

Like most churches in the Hârtibaciu Valley, the parish church of Marpod has its origin in a three-nave basilica. From this first church a Romanesque capitila has been preserved, which today is built into the first southern pillar of the church. In 1494 and 1504, Marpod received support from the treasury of the Sibiu District of the Seven Chairs for construction works on the tower. From this period, parts of the side walls of the church hall and remains of the church castle are preserved. Between 1785 and 1798, the church of Marpod got its present appearance.
