| In the valleys between Fagaras and Sibiu are more secluded Saxon Villages: Hosman (Holzmengen), Dealu Frumos (Schonberg), Meringhindeal (Mergeln), and Cincu. At Cincu (Gross-Schenk) the citadel church has a beautiful altarpiece of sculpted and polychromed wood. Its tempera paintings were created by a workshop in Sibiu. A small intermediate panel depicts various saints. An inscription on the central panel dates the paintings to 1521. |
