Viscri (Romanian) or Deutsch-Weisskirch (German) is a fortified church situated in Brasov County, Romania. It was build in the 13th century by german settlers. Today it is an UNESCO monument and one of my favorite place in Romania. Charles, the Prince of Wales has a house in the village. He is implicated in the restauration of German churches in that region.
