Burgsvil, SE
The Sundre Church was built during the 12th century and was originally made of wood. Some time later, a defensive tower was built alongside the church. It is believed that the building served as a shelter for the parish during times of danger or war. The ruins of this tower can still be visited today. At the beginning of the 13th century, the church was demolished and replaces by the current Romanesque stone building. In the middle of the 13th century, a tower was also added to the church. Since then, no significant changes were done. Because the church is located not far from the sea, it used to function as a navigational aid for seafarers. The building underwent restorations in 1931 and from 1969 until 1970.

The church, which still preserves many parts of the former Romanesque basilica, was built during the 13th century and fortified in Gothic style in the 15th century. In the same time the Romanesque chancel was heightened by adding a defence level, a lierne vault was built above the nave and a ribbed vault in the chancel. During its fortification phase the side aisles of the western tower were replaced by turrets, which were demolished later on. Its defence level was also replaced in 1854 by the current spire. The interior is decorated with lively colored galleries. The painted pews in the aisles were brought here for security reasons from the church in Drăuşeni. grossscheuern2016_portalAlmost nothing remained from the defence wall that was once surrounding the assembly.
