The beginning of constructing the fortified church was in 1212, Prejmer Fortified Church was built by the Teutonic knights. With the circular walls rising 40 feet, advanced defense and underground passageways, Prejmer Fortified Church was extreme good defended. The fortress was attacked by fifty times, but only once was captured, in 1661. The access to the church was through a 100-foot-long arched passage fortified with two rows of gates. Each village family had a designated room for shelter in case of attack. The red-roofed wall accommodated 272 rooms, stacked over four stories and linked by wooden staircases.
