Heldenburg Fortress
Romania, Romania
Heldenburg Fortress, located in Crizbav (Criț), Brașov County, Romania, is a medieval heritage site situated about 5 km north of the village at 1,104 meters elevation in the "La Cetate" area, classified as historic monument BV-I-m-A-11273.01. This ancient hilltop fortification, tied to the region's Saxon defensive network in Transylvania's Burzenland area, likely dates to the Middle Ages when local communities built watchtowers and strongholds against invasions, featuring stone walls and strategic positioning for surveillance over valleys and passes. Today it stands as evocative ruins amid forested hills, representing lesser-known fortifications near more famous sites like the nearby Marienburg Fortress in Feldioara, preserved as part of Romania's patrimonial landscape.
