Short Break in the Heart of Transylvania

Short Break in the Heart of Transylvania

, Romania

4 Day tour in Cincsor Transylvania

Introduction

Southern Transylvania is home to hundreds of well preserved Saxon towns and villages. Saxons settled down here during the 12th Century coming from Rhine and Moselle river regions.

Highly respected for their skills, the Saxons succeeded in gaining administrative autonomy along the centuries. The result is a cultural and architectural heritage unique in Europe. Most of the villages, towns and fortified churches were erected between 13th-15th centuries and still standing.

This short break package is a romantic getaway in a perfect haven for relaxation and discovery in the heart of Transylvania. All houses – the former parish and evangelical school - have been restored according to the traditional architecture, decorated with local furniture and provided with the comfort of modern lifestyle

      The Former Evangelical School , together with  the Former Parish House  and  the Fortified Church  in Cincsor, form a historic ensemble that is typical for the Transylvanian Saxon villages. The church, school, parish house and community represent the core of spirituality and Saxon culture. Build in 1910 in the Art Nouveau Style and restored in 2014, the former Protestant Saxon School, now turned into a guesthouse, offers the perfect getaway and relaxation. Apart from the 4 bedrooms, the guesthouse features a recreation area in the chimney room, a library/media room and a well-lit porch designed as a dining area. The Former Evangelical Parish House  is the oldest private building in Cincsor. It was regarded as the spiritual center of the community – all priests had a higher education, some of them even studied in renowned universities in Germany and so were meant to bring progress to all Saxon communities, progress that was usually concentrated around the Church. The former Parish House was probably built sometime before 1600, having only one room at that time and was extended as the years and centuries followed. Where the stables used to be there are today rooms and large apartments that open in the spacious Parish garden and yard.
