A video of my visit to the Transylvanian city of Sibiu, Romania.

In 2007 Sibiu was designated as the European Capital of Culture and is ranked as one of the most idyllic places to live in Europe.

The first record of Sibiu comes from 1191 and during the 14th century it rose to prominence as an important trade center in the region.

For the Germans who were sent to settle the Transylvanian frontier, known as the Transylvania Saxons, it was their most important city. It wasn't until after World War 1, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire was dissolved, that Sibiu officially became part of the Romanian state.

Today, Sibiu is one of the best places to visit in Romania and one of the most beautiful cities in Transylvania. It has been wonderfully preserved and it's like taking a step back in time as you walk through the narrow streets and stare up in awe at the architecture of the Old Town Square.

Sibiu Cathedral

vmd news : Sibiu (Part 2)

Sibiu is one of the most important cultural centres of Romania and was designated the European Capital of Culture for the year 2007, along with the city of Luxembourg. Formerly the centre of the Transylvanian Saxons, the old city of Sibiu was ranked as Europe's 8th most idyllic place to live by Forbes.
The first official record referring to the Sibiu area comes from 1191, when Pope Celestine III confirmed the existence of the free prepositure of the German settlers in Transylvania, the prepositure having its headquarters in Sibiu, named Cibinium at that time , between 1692 and 1791 and 1849-1865 Sibiu was the capital of the Principality of Transylvania.

What I visited
- The Sibiu Lutheran Cathedral : Was built in the 14th century on the location of another 12th-century church. For three centuries it served as a burial place for the mayors, earls and other personalities from Sibiu. This practice was banned in 1796 but one exception was made in 1803 when baron Samuel von Brukenthal was laid to rest in the crypt.
In 1671 a Slovakian craftsman built an organ to replace the previous one that was built in 1585. Today the newer organ is the largest in the southeastern region of Europe. During the summer, there are concerts every Wednesday night.Catedrala Evanghelică din Sibiu a fost construit în secolul 14 în funcție de locația alte biserici 12-lea. Timp de trei secole a servit ca loc de înmormântare pentru primarii, Earls si alte personalitati din Sibiu. Această practică a fost interzisă în 1796, dar o singură excepție a fost făcută în 1803, când baronul Samuel von Brukenthal a fost pus să se odihnească în cripta.
In 1671 un mester slovac construit un organ pentru a înlocui pe cel anterior, care a fost construit în 1585. Astăzi, mai nou organ este cea mai mare din regiunea de sud-est a Europei. În timpul verii, există concerte in fiecare miercuri seara.

Mesendorf - The fortified church, Brasov, Romania.

Meșendorf was mentioned for the first time in 1290 in a ratification of boundaries between Mukendorf and Sarustelek. In 1332, from a document enumerating the properties of the Abbey of Cârța, we find out that, together with Cloașterf and Criț, Meșendorf was also part of them. This situation lasted until 1474 when the abbey was abolished and all of its possessions were taken by Saint Mary's Church in Sibiu, today the parish church.
Without knowing the exact year of foundation we can assume that the church of Meșendorf dates from the middle of the 14th century. The hall church built of gross sandstone had a tower annexed on the west side and fourteen buttresses unloading the pressure of the vaults from the nave and choir. The hall had initially three windows on the north and south sides, an ogival chancel arch, rib vaults and a portal on the west side, at the ground floor of the tower. The latter has five levels, the first one corresponding to the portal has a barrel vault, the second one communicates with the actual organ loft through a mobile staircase, and the third one is open to the church attic. In 1494, together with the more extensive fortification works, the last level of the tower received a defense gallery on consoles. On the north and south sides which are more exposed to the enemy, the handrails were made of stone; on the east and west sides were made of wood. At the same time the west portal was walled in and a new one was made on the south side; together with the portal, the west windows were also walled in. The hall and the choir of the church were raised with two meters, resulting in two defense levels, the first one provided with crenels and the second one with a gallery on a timber console. The spaces between the supporting elements were provided with machicolations. The access to the new defensive features was made through the third level of the tower.
Around the end of the 15th century the polygonal precinct was built, with walls of about five meters high. The two towers from the southeast and southwest sides of the precinct, covered by oblique roofs, have three levels each, the access to the last floor from the courtyard is made through the second floor, because of the oscillations of level. The defense gallery was maintained on the south side, partially supported by the curtain wall that narrows at approximately two meters above the ground, and partially by wooden consoles. The access to the precinct can also be found on this side.
In 1653 was placed the polyptych altar with four panels decorated with scenes from the Passion.
In 1765 the south gallery from inside the church was painted and the organ made by Johannes Hahn from Sibiu was brought.
In 1914 Josef Vogel restored the paintings of the galleries and the old organ was replaced with a new one placed above the altar. The latter received in 1923 two new mobile panels which replaced the old ones, painted with the heads of the four evangelists by Hans Hermann.
In 1958 the southeast tower was demolished because of the weak structure; the wall was rebuilt using bricks.
In present day, the church and the fortifications are in restauration.

Ringing of bells in Krakow, Visla river

Cetatea de Balta - The Reformed Church, Romania.

The first dates regarding to Cetatea de Baltă beginning with 1177 we may find in the papal register where it's called villa Cuculiensis castri. The towers of the reformed church were built in 1060 what had survived the Tartar invasion of 1241 marked by a large scale painted tartar head in it made at the ending of the 13th century. The building of the Reformed Church ( Roman Catholic until 1550-1560) , with a nave, pentagonal choir and a massive tower on the west side, with its entrance on the west side through a small porch having a semicircular opening and archway in the top part. The façade of the entrance is flanked by two massive threaded braces that protect two niches which used to be windows. The basis of the steeple is surrounded by a wooden gallery. The present day tower is made of two square towers united by a subsequent masonry work. The northern façade is articulated with a great number of braces with different profiles. Their sections are different, being triangular or polygonal. The entire construction belongs to the mature gothic or the late gothic style; this shows the importance of the church and the interest for consolidating it in different periods of time. The gothic portal on the southern façade is remarkable - abandoned nowadays and it has archivolt and door jambs articulated with a series of cylindrical toruses sheets. The church has a bell with the inscription 1417 but some sources place its building somewhere during 1332. What is a certainty is the fact the parish had existed for over a century by 1415 when a Latin chronicle mentions its patron: Saint Stephan. In the beginning of the 15th century, the church was embellished with frescoes; a fact proved when the 1897 restoration works took place: 1525 paintings were found. During this restoration process the vault under the triumph arch was also dug up, which hid three coffins dating from the 16th century.
While after a document from 1214, on this place King Istvan I. built from quarter-timber and earthwork a fortification which was demolished during the same invasion. In the 14th century there is another mentioning of a fortification.
