Sebeș Evangelical Church

One of the finest late-Gothic churches in Transylvania, with a soaring choir and a superb 15th-century polyptych altar.

Not a day trip from Brașov

Sebeș Evangelical Church is roughly 3h 05m from Brașov one way — about 6h 15m in the car before you have seen anything. That makes a long journey rather than a good day, so we keep it out of the planner instead of selling you the drive.

Within a comfortable day we would point you at Sighișoara Historic Citadel, Bran Castle or Peles Castle.
