2021-06-27 14h04 Hosman: Biserica evanghelică fortificată
The Romanesque Evangelical Church of Hosman was built around 1270 with three naves, an apse for the altar, and a five-level bell tower. Two centuries later the church was fortified with two rows of defensive walls, towers and bastions. The entrance gate tower is raised on three levels and provided with a defensive harrow in the confluence area of the two enclosures. In the inner defensive enclosure are other defensive constructions such as two raised squares on three levels as well as a strong house. The walls of the enclosure are 7 to 8 meters high, including 3 meters of stone, the rest being renovated with brick and stone.
The second enclosure has two towers. The one in the south-west is pentagonal, now serving as the pavilion of the parish house. The one in the southeast is damaged, only the lower levels of which are preserved today.
In spite of everything, the locality was the prey of the army of Vlad Ţepeş, that, in 1456, set fire to Hosman.
