Biertan, 2

More of the fortified 15th century church at Biertan...
Church interior


















Beautifully-carved 16th century altar














Choir ceiling


















Wooden pews














These a gift of the carpenters' guild; we conjectured














Exterior doors: enlarge to see the date (1524)


















Remains of fresco in one of the towers














In another of the adjoining buildings, tombs
of all the bishops, from 1503 to the 1860s



















Between the inner and outer walls














Frozen in time: older clock faces
