Both are included in the 25 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Romania. The largest fortified church in southeastern Europe, Prejmer was built by Teutonic knights in 1212-1213.The powerful surrounding walls are 40 feethigh and 10-15 feet thick. Historical records attest that in its 500 years of existence, the fortress was besieged 50 times. Located in the heart of Harman, (meaning Honey Castle) village, this fortified church dates back to the 13th century when Saxons built the original structure. Strong walls and bulwarks surrounded the church, and, on its sides, massive towers were added. Back to Brasov for dinner and accommodation.
