The traveling exhibition <em>The Transylvanian Landscape of Fortified Churches &#8211; A European Cultural Heritage<\/em> is currently on display in Skara, the home town of the V\u00e4sterg\u00f6tlands Museum. This regional historical institution already looks back on a tradition of more than one hundred years in the field of monument preservation and documentation. From September 5 to 9, Museum Director Luitgard L\u00f6w and Building and Antiquities Commissioner Robin Gullbrandsson visited Transylvania. His special interest in supporting structures, roof trusses and building research has repeatedly make Gullbrandsson a loyal guest inTransylvania since 2004, which has also led to increasingly concrete professional contacts with the Foundation&#8217;s team during the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>Since the district of Sibiu maintains a partnership with the Swedish province of V\u00e4stra G\u00f6talands l\u00e4n, museum director L\u00f6w sees good opportunities &#8220;to further deepen cooperation through joint cultural projects&#8221;. Accordingly, such possibilities were discussed during a meeting with the deputy chairman of the county council Marcel Constantin Luca (PNL) and Doris Cristina Banciu, who is responsible for the international relations of the county council.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='czr-gallery row flex-row czr-gallery-style gallery galleryid-15822 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item col col-auto'>\r\n                        <div class='gallery-icon landscape czr-gallery-icon'>\r\n                              <a data-lb-type=\"grouped-gallery\" href=https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC_7085.jpg class=\"bg-link\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC_7085-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 397.5px, (min-width: 992px) 330px, (min-width: 576px) 240px, calc( 50vw - 30px )\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC_7085-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC_7085-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC_7085.jpg 1200w\" \/>\r\n                        <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item col col-auto'>\r\n                        <div class='gallery-icon landscape czr-gallery-icon'>\r\n                              <a data-lb-type=\"grouped-gallery\" href=https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC_7086.jpg class=\"bg-link\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC_7086-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 397.5px, (min-width: 992px) 330px, (min-width: 576px) 240px, calc( 50vw - 30px )\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC_7086-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC_7086-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC_7086.jpg 1200w\" \/>\r\n                        <\/div><\/figure>\r\n                  <\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Intensive itinerary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The main interest were, of course, the fortified churches: on several day trips, Philipp Harfmann (Managing Director) and Ruth Istv\u00e1n (Specialist Tourism Officer) introduced the guests to fortified churches, projects and actors.

Hundertb\u00fccheln, Irmesch, Kirtsch, Martinsdorf, Eibesdorf, Michelsberg and Birth\u00e4lm.

With regard to the future of the fortified church landscape, L\u00f6w and Harfmann agree: &#8220;As a European cultural heritage, the fortified churches must be linked even more closely with their direct residents and neighbors in the future, regardless of their religious or ethnic group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17761\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17761\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC_7071-1024x683.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17761\" src=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC_7071-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC_7071-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC_7071-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC_7071.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17761\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A visit to the office of the Fortified Churches Foundation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Text und Bilder: Stefan Bichler<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In early September 2022, a scientific delegation from the V\u00e4sterg\u00f6tlands Museum in Sweden visited the Fortified Churches Foundation.
