🔴 ENG The fortified church of Crit, in the Middle Ages, was the possession of the Cârța Monastery. The first documentary mentions date from 1270-1272
In this locality, more than 400 years ago, the first rural school law in Transylvania was adopted.
The oldest church built on the hill in Criț was first mentioned in 1270.
Not much is known about this first construction. However, it is assumed that it is represented in a drawing from a choir of the present church, dated 1793.
It was replaced by another medieval church dedicated to St. Cross, mentioned in 1466. And this, being degraded, it was demolished in 1810 and in its place was built a spacious church, with a western tower, built between 1810-1813.
Its dimensions are probably close to those of the older medieval church, which it replaced.
The organ, with 1450 tubes, built in 1813 by Master Johann This, it was completely restored by the Michael Schmidt Foundation and released to the public in 2013.
After restoration, the evangelical church in Criț became the host of numerous concerts that addresses different musical styles and in which the restored organ plays the central role.
In the fifteenth century, the surrounding walls were erected with a variable height, between 6-8 m and five towers were also built.
In the 19th century, when the defense role ceased, the villagers made small demolitions and built barns.
There was also a deep fountain inside.
The degradation of fortification began in the twentieth century. In 1908, a wide gate was opened near the western tower. The tower from the old entrance was surpassed in 1925, and the Northeast Tower in 1955, but it was rebuilt.
In 2013 the renovation of the entire place of worship was completed
with European funding from the Evangelical Church.
