Biertan Fortified Church. UNESCO World Heritage Site. Biertan, Transylvania – Central Romania. The village of Biertan German: Birthalm, first mentioned in an official document in 1283, is home to one of the largest and most impressive medieval strongholds in Transylvania. The fortified church shelters a special place for the tourists, namely the prison’s bastion where couples who wanted to divorce were locked. The locals’ stories say that couples that wanted to break the marriage were locked inside this tower, where they had only one bed, one table, one plate, one set of covers, and one glass. It is no longer known how many years elapsed since a husband and a wife have been locked in there, but it is said that one divorce has been registered in 300 years.
