Located in the heart of Harman (Honigburg in German, meaning Honey-Hill), Harman Evangelical fortified church dates back to the 13th-century when Saxon settlers built the original structure.
Strong walls, bulwarks and massive towers were added.
The square-shaped choir, flanked by two chapels features a vault resembling a cross. The Cistercian style of the church can also be observed in the, still-standing, original round windows with four lobes.
The south chapel has been preserved in its initial state while the north chapel was rebuilt in the 15th century.
The exterior vaults of the chapel are sculptured in stone and have a human face at each end.
