As a specialized institution for the preservation of the fortified churches in Transylvania, the Fortified Churches Foundation works closely with partners, associations and private initiatives dedicated to finding interesting concepts for the further use of these historic buildings. In addition to these collaborations, we are also interested in developing our own adaptive reuse project to set another example of the numerous possibilities that fortified churches offer in this regard.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since we are mainly dealing with monuments in rural areas, the “classic” models of expanding their use (e.g. library, community center, food banks, cultural venues, etc.) are usually not feasible. The main reason for this is the lack of demand from local and neighboring communities. However, as the South Transylvania region has become a popular destination for domestic and foreign tourists in recent years, we have identified them as a target group for our concept of adaptive reuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By offering quality accommodation in the towers of the fortresses and combining the mere stay with a holistic heritage experience, we hope to satisfy the demanding demand of culturally interested tourists visiting this region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 fortified churches and unique villages<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The project includes three fortified churches, each located in unique villages. The accommodations are to be set up in one or two towers of the defensive structures built around the respective church buildings. Guests are invited not only to enjoy the quality and comfort of the rooms and amenities, but also to discover the entire fortress complex, which will be “theirs”, so to speak, for the duration of their stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The atmosphere of the place, the history of the medieval monument and the sacredness of the religious heritage can be enjoyed and should be stimulated by various activities and offers on site. These are not obligatory, but can enhance the extraordinary experience of an overnight stay in a fortified church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the carefully documented and monitored implementation of the adaptive reuse program, we aim to set a best practice example for other models of reinterpretation of religious heritage sites in Romania, as this issue has not yet been sufficiently addressed and tackled at the national level. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
