Fortified reformed church from Ilieni

On the site of the monument there was an old Romanesque church, rebuilt in the late 15th and early 16th centuries in Gothic style. The present church, with a nave and chancel, was built between 1782 and 1785 on the site of the previous one. The characteristic feature of the fortified church was its double wall, today only the outer defensive wall is visible, only remains of the inner wall remain. The early origin of the wall is indicated by the brick-vaulted lintels opening from the defence corridor. The view from here is unrivalled, offering a panorama not only of the village but also of Lower Covasna County and a large part of Țara Bârsei.

Good to know: An appointment is required for the visit.
