Background and church Around 1211, King
Andrew II of Hungary permitted the knights to settle around Prejmer, where they began constructing a church Following their expulsion in 1225, the
Cistercians, who took over in 1240, finished the church. The artist is unknown but was presumably trained in the
Viennese school. Frequently damaged or altered, Prejmer was restored to its original form following a restoration between 1960 and 1970. Additionally, the church is listed as a
historic monument by Romania's
Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs, with the following being listed as separate entries: the inner wall and rooms, the outer wall, the barbican, the battlement and the arched
gallery.
