The fortified church in Cincu has the particularity of combining three different architectural styles, the locality being one of the Seven Seats (administrative units of the Transylvanian Saxons, from the 12th century to the end of the 19th century, mentioned for the first time on July 14, 1349 on the Craiesc Land of southern Transylvania), which etymologically formed the name Siebenburgen.
We learn more about what a "See" means (that is, a union of several towns and villages, subject to the same judicial power) on Saturday, August 31, from Brighitte Boghian, the hearty curate of the city-church.

And that's not all - because also in Cincu, at no. 423, Horsti, Brighitta's son, is perhaps the youngest collector in Romania, who set up a museum for himself, "Horsti's Museum", in his grandfather's house, which he enriches with the same passion as when he was 8 years old, when he decided to become - he says - "museum owner"!

"At the age of 8, I saw a Romanian museum in Cincu, that of Mrs. Barbu, which was the source of inspiration for my museum. I negotiated with my grandfather to let me a former workshop where he used to put his tools and I convinced him that I was quite serious about what I wanted to do. Since then I keep collecting pieces in it" (...). "I would also like to one day take over my mother's job, when she can no longer be a guide. I often accompany her to the fortified Church and I also help her when there are many tourists. I know from her what to explain to them, what to show them and where to lead them. I want to leave my museum to future generations, because the years pass quickly. Until then I will increase it" - Horst Stephanius Tudoran
