HÃÆrman (German: Honigberg) is a commune in BraÃÅ¸ov County, Romania. The commune is located some 10 km east of BraÃÅ¸ov, in the Burzenland region of southeastern Transylvania. HÃÆrman was established and long inhabited mainly by Transylvanian Saxons. With its more than 150 well preserved fortified churches of a great variety of architectural styles (out of an original 300 fortified churches), south-eastern Transylvania region in Romania currently has one of the highest numbers of existing fortified churches from the 13th to 16th centuries. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Villages with Fortified Churches in Transylvania are seven Saxon villages founded by the Transylvanian Saxons. They are dominated by fortified churches and characterized by a specific settlement pattern that has been preserved since the late Middle Ages.
