Unesco world heritage Built in the 13th century by Count Chyl de Kelling, the Fortified Church at Calnic (German:  Kelling ) is one of the most imposing defensive structures in Transylvania. First documented in 1269, the fortress served as a residence for Saxon nobility until 1430, when it was sold to the peasant community of Calnic. Enclosed by one and a half rings of high walls fortified with a defensive tower to the south and a gate tower to the north, the fortress withstood several Ottoman sieges. Its defense system was completed in the 16th century when a small Romanesque chapel, surrounding walls and a water ditch were added by the Calnic community. The five-story-high Siegfried Tower, the landmark of the fortress, is endowed with defensive corridors and firing windows Weird scenes from Romania - transylvania everyday life : They still use horse carriage !
