Photographer’s Note

Râşnov or better known as Rosenau by German People that use to live here(Barcarozsnyó in Hungarian) is one of the most beautiful towns of Braşov County, Transylvania, Romania.

Established at 15 Km of Brasov City, Rasnov Fortress has been here for more then 800 years.

It is one of the biggest rural fortresses of Transylvania and very unique in the sense that it was meant to be a place of refuge for the common people, which in that unsure times, where often find them self’s under sieges for extended periods of time. So it had at least 27 houses, a chapel, a school and other buildings which could be easily associated with a village.
