We are asking for donations for the Transylvanian landscape of fortified churches: on the one hand for concrete projects and on the other hand for the running activities of the Fortified Churches Foundation.
Daia / Denndorf
In 2017, the Fortified Churches Foundation carried out several conservation works at the fortified church. In 2020, the church roof was renovated and annual maintenance and emergency measures are carried out. The former shed is at risk. We urgently request donations for emergency interventions.

Valea Lungă / Langenthal
The HOG Langenthal is active and maintains the fortified church ensamble.
