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. http://www.viscri-info.ro/viscri.html Wikipedia.ro Google images
