The fortified churches of Harman and Prejmer are two of the hidden treasures of the Romanian hinterland. Discover them and their epic history with this fantastic trip from Brasov.
Harman and Prejmer Trip
At 9 am, we will meet up in the old town center of Brasov where we climb on board the bus. Just 30 minutes later we will arrive at the first stop of the tour: the impressive church of Prejmer.
Inside this World Heritage Church, you discover fascinating secrets such as why the Teutonic Knights built these fortified temples in the 13th century. If the unusual exterior architecture of this religious monument surprises you, wait until you encounter the wonderful interior courtyard.
After the guided tour, you will have half an hour of free time to explore this unique medieval building at your own pace. Don’t forget to bring a camera to capture some great souvenir photos!
Only 20 minutes from Prejmer is the fortified church of Harman. Like the previous one, this shrine has a circular structure with strong defensive walls. Here, you will learn that the main enemy of the inhabitants of medieval Transylvania was not dreaded Count Dracula but someone far more terrifying.
After the tour of the Harman church, you will have 30 minutes of free time to continue exploring as you want. Finally, from Harman, we then return to Brasov, arriving at around 1 pm.
