The western portal is of gothic origins and the church still preserves Cistercian marks like the arcades of a rosette or the curbs of a cherry flower from one of the keystones. The defence area built in the first part of the 15th century is consolidated by 8 towers, the bastion strengthening the gate area and a water fosse which later was covered up. Around the 19th century the bastion became the vicarage, because the fortress around the church lost its military properties. On the east side of the Evangelic church from Cristian is the Evangelic cemetery. After reconstructed in neo-classical style it was added also Anna May’s thumb stone. The almost 3 meters high statue of Jesus Christ seems so natural that gives you protective feelings. It is classified as the second highest church from Transylvania after the Black Church in Brasov. For the ones passionate about the combined architectural styles the fabulous example is to be found in the Evangelic church from Cristian.
