Romania Travel Guide - Visiting the Church of Harman
Take a tour of Harman Fortified Church in Harman, Romania -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
This church outside of Brasov, Romania is from a time when houses of worship were also places of refuge.
Romania is a country that is home to many fortified churches, such as Harman's.
The oldest parts of the Harman Fortified Church were built in the thirteenth century by Saxon colonists.
Mostly in the fifteenth century, Baroque defensive structures, such as a curtain wall and towers, were added.
These defenses were necessary, even on churches, because of threats of invasion from neighboring nations.
Both as a fort and as a church, the Harman Church is an amazing place.

➤ “Hărman mai demult Herman (în dialectul săsesc Huntschprich, în germană Honigberg, în trad. „Muntele mierii“, în maghiară Szászhermány, în latină Mons Mellis) este satul de reședință al comunei cu același nume din județul Brașov, Transilvania, România.
Localitatea Hărman se află în Țara Bârsei, la cca. 10 km spre est de municipiul Brașov. Este cunoscută în special pentru biserica fortificată impresionantă.
Istoria cetății Hărmanului se leagă de prezența Ordinului Cavalerilor Teutoni în Țara Bârsei în primele decenii ale secolului al XIII-lea la Feldioara,Prejmer, Râșnov și Sânpetru. Prima atestare documentară a așezării datează însă de la 21 martie 1240, la 15 ani după alungarea Cavalerilor Teutoni din aceste teritorii. Într-un document redactat atunci, regele Béla al IV-lea spune ...am hotărât să dăruim sfântului și venerabilului convent al mănăstirii Cisterciților, ca ajutor pentru cheltuielile sale, ce se vor face în fiecare an pentru folosul obștesc, al capitulului întregului ordin, unele biserici din Țara Bârsei în părțile Transilvaniei, și anume cetatea Feldioara (Castrum Sanctae Mariae), Sânpetru (Sancti Petri), muntele Hărman (Mons Mellis) și Prejmer (Tartilleri) cu toate veniturile, drepturile și cele ce țin de ele…. Pe lângă fragmentele de pictură din interiorul bisericii sau din ambrazurile ferestrelor, un important ansamblu de pictură se găsește într-o capelă din turnul de est.”

We will explore the fortress, the living and work quarter is, the tunnels connecting rooms in the fortress wall and climb up the belfry. Better still this does not have the masses of tourists like Notre Dame or other cathedrals. Small is beautiful

Romania Saxon Village ???????? Villages With Fortified Churches in Transylvania
The Saxon villages of Transylvania appeared in the twelfth century when the Kings of Hungary settled German colonists in the area. They had a special status among nations in the province and their civilisation managed to survive and thrive, forming a very strong community of farmers, artisans and merchants. Being situated in a region constantly under the threat of the Ottoman and Tatar invasions, they built fortifications of different sizes. The most important towns were fully fortified, and the smaller communities created fortifications centered on the church, where they added defensive towers and storehouses to keep their most valuable goods and to help them withstand long sieges.
