The fortified Saxon church in Viscri
The highlight is the spectacular Saxon fortified church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As well as the church itself, which is an unexpected oasis of coolness, you can also climb the tower, from where you can admire the village from above.
In the churchyard, you will also find a museum with various Saxon artefacts: traditional costumes, embroidery, looms. There is also an exhibition of traditional and modern terracotta.
Prince Charles bought an old house in the village of Viscri in 1996, restored it in traditional style and turned Viscri into a popular tourist destination. For several years, the Crown Prince has helped develop projects to preserve the architectural heritage. The property owned by Prince Charles in the village of Viscri is a traditional Saxon house with specific features such as wide wooden gates and clay roof tiles. Part of the house dates back to the 18th Century.
