Mesendorf

Tranquil enchanted atmosphere

Meșendorf has a fortified church that needs love and appreciation. Smaller than others in the area, less known, but gorgeous.

The best time here is in spring during the tree blossom: dogs bark, rooster crow and horse carts pass by. The enchanted atmosphere of the village is heightened by an old legend. The Kazkes, a mountain in the direction of Criţ is supposed to be the home of an evil spirit – the canter. This gruesome character will haunt those who dare to go on the mountain at midnight.

Meșendorf village rests on the north-eastern end of Brașov County, 95 kilometers from Brașov and 30 kilometers from Sighișoara. First mentioned in 1289, Mesendorf is today a small village close to Sighisoara with many empty houses which once belonged to the Saxons living here for many centuries.
