Nocrich Fortified Church
Nocrich Fortified Church is situated in the central square of Nocrich village, in Sibiu County. The village still keeps today the architectural style of the 18 – 19th centuries with ample constructions of bricks, rock and bricks and baroque style roofs.
The firs church was a Romanic basilica built in the 13th century. The basilica was demolished in the beginning of the 19th century when a new church was erected. It is very possible that the two churches coexisted at the time.
Along with the new church the pentagonal wall from the 15th century was strengthen with 5 towers, one for the each corner.
