    The settlement is situated in the eastern part
    of the Hârtibaciu Plateau, between gorges and
    marshes that have been sanitized throughout
    the centuries.
    The village is situated at the watercourse
    between the watersheds of Târnava Mare and
    Olt. Relief is formed mostly from gentle hills.
    When the Saxons colonized the Viscri area, there
    was a small chapel here. Over time, it has undergone
    several transformations. The present church in Viscri
    is a church in the roman style, enlarged at the
    beginning of the XVIth century, to form a trapezoidal
    vessel with many valuable artistic elements.
    The museum inside the fortress includes particularly
    interesting objects.
    Viscri became known throughout Europe after
    Prince Charles bought a house here in 1996 and
    spoke in many interviews about the beauties of the
    village in Transylvania. The royal house of Viscri is
    rented over the year to tourists, who have to take
    out 670 pounds a week from their pocket. Charles
    Village, as it is now known as Viscri, is visited
    annually by more than 15,000 tourists, most
    foreigners.
    Documents show that Viscri has always been a free
    village, never part of a noble property. By the year
    1500 there were 51 households, 3 shepherds, one
    teacher and two poor in the village.

    Today, Viscri is still a small village with no more than


    500 inhabitants, of which only 27 are Saxons. It is said
    that Viscri is the most picturesque fortified church in
    Transylvania.
    Surrounding nature surprises by variety.
    The wonderful meadows are bordered by
    shady oak and beech forests. Gentle hills are
    crossed by the paths that invite to walk.
    From spring to autumn birds of all kinds chirp
    from morning till night.
