The walls of the church

The ensemble of the fortified church from Biertan is made up of three concentric walls, the inner ones being circular. This walls were connected by tower - gates. Thus the second and the third walls are connected by the Townhall Tower. Between this tower and the first tower of the gate (found on the second wall of the precincts)there is a cart track,that could be blocked at any time by a vertical gate.

Access ways to the church

Besides the way which makes the connection between the exterior and the interior of the church there is also the Northern access, made by using covered stairs that link the ex- headquarters and the bell tower.
