High on the hill, the Church of Saint Nicholas watches quietly over Cund, just as it has done for more than six centuries. Built in the Gothic style by Transylvanian Saxon settlers, its stonewalls and arches speak of devotion, skill, and enduring faith.

For generations, this was the village’s heart — where people were christened, married, and mourned. When the Saxon community left during the twentieth century, the church fell silent.

But today a new chapter is unfolding. With support from the Regina Maria Foundation and Valea Verde, the church is being restored — not just as a monument, but as a centre for dialogue and cultural exchange.
