In an isolated Transylvanian Saxon village, a Romanian Orthodox church built in 1795 quietly survives among the overgrown landscape. Its stone walls follow the golden ratio and the pentagonal shape of the recessed apse, visible inside, shows Gothic influences from the Saxon builders. The bell tower rises over three levels above a cross-vaulted porch, while segmental-arched windows along the nave add subtle Baroque touches to an otherwise Western-influenced design.
