Biserica Evanghelică din Sibiu

The Evangelical Church of Sibiu, also known as the Evangelical parish church, dominates the entire old town with its massive tower and is one of the most important Gothic buildings in Transylvania. Raised by the Saxon community between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries on the site of an older church, it is a hall church with high vaults and a tower more than seventy metres tall, the highest in the region, which can be climbed for a broad view. The interior preserves a monumental medieval fresco of the Crucifixion, a carved stone pulpit, a large historic organ, and many funeral slabs of Saxon patricians. In the churchyard lies the tomb of a son of a Wallachian ruler.

The church remains a symbol of Saxon culture in Transylvania. Visitors can climb the tower and admire the Gothic details. It is best to respect the services and the organ concerts held here.
