Thanks and enjoy watching!
With a history that goes back to the 12th century, Viscri is today one of Romania’s most famous villages. Prince Charles’ repeated visits, its UNESCO World Heritage fortified church and the ceaseless activity of the local foundation Mihai Eminescu Trust have helped this small village dust off its last decades of oblivion. Viscri is right now one of Romania’s most popular off the beaten track attractions with plenty of activities for all those curious to discover the typical rural life from Transylvania.
The construction of the fortified church in the village center began in 1100 A.D., a fact confirmed by the tombstone inscription in the cemetery that surrounds the church. In 1185, Saxons colonized the area settling in the south-east of Transylvania. The Viscri settlement was officially named in 1400 - it was given the Latin title of Alba Ecclesia, or “White Church.”’
The church gave the village its name - as it was one of the most impressive in all Transylvania. The first towers were added around 1525. In the 18th century, a defensive wall and a covered passageway were built. An altar was added in 19th century with a painting as its centerpiece - “The Blessing of the Children,” by Rupean painter J. Paukratz.
Discover the wonderful craft and culinary traditions of this timeless village.

I was born there, son of the preacher, in 1975. In 1982 we left the country due to the political situation. Thank you for this great footage!

Hi there! How did you reach Viscri? Could you get there by public transport or did you need a car? Thanks! 🙂

[@TravelFun]

Hi! We got there by car, they have a big parking at the entrance of the village and from there you should go by foot or bycicle, if you have one 😊
There is no public transport for tourists, but I think they have a bus line used by commuters from Viscri to nearby town of Rupea (leaves Viscri at 7.30 and returns from Rupea at 14.30).
That's pretty much it
