The village is one of the oldest settlements of the Transylvanian Saxons, first mentioned in 1206. From 1532 Rumes belonged to the Chair of Ora\u0219tie. During its heyday, 230 Transylvanian Saxons lived in Romos.<br \/>\nThe founders of the village probably came from Flanders \u2013 even today there is still a village called \u201cRumes\u201c with 5000 inhabitants in the Walloon region of Belgium, in the province of Hainaut. Today&#8217;s church stands on a hill, on the foundations of the Romanesque basilica, which dates back to the 13th century. The hall church consists of a simple nave, the tower is modern. Unfortunately, the church is still not listed for preservation \u2013 not much of the castle complex has survived. It was rebuilt several times over the centuries. Remains of the ring wall are partly preserved and can still be seen today in the southwest of the church. <a href=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/rumes1_aussen2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9382\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9382\" src=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/rumes1_aussen2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"rumes1_aussen2\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/rumes1_aussen2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/rumes1_aussen2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/rumes1_aussen2.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>A historical event, which is closely connected with the village Romos, is around the figure of the so-called &#8220;Romos student&#8221;. Coming from Romos, he wanted to study in Sebe\u0219. He was captured by the Turks during the siege of Sebe\u0219 in the 15th century. After 20 years of imprisonment he finally managed to escape. When he returned, he became a Dominican monk and from then on called himself Georgius of Hungary. The writing &#8220;Tractatus de moribus, condictionibus et nequicia Turcorum&#8221; (&#8220;Tract on the customs, conditions and uselessness of the Turks&#8221;) goes back to him. It appeared in German language in Rome in 1481 and in Nuremberg in 1530 \u2013 with a preface by Martin Luther. The text reports on Turkish lifestyles and customs and shaped the image of the Turks in Europe for many centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Text: Aurelia Brecht<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Church in the Mure\u0219 Valley Romos is located east of Ora\u0219tie in the district of Hunedoara, on the left tributary of the Mure\u0219 River.
