descriere cetate medievala
Plasată în centrul localităţii, fără menţiuni documentare, compusă din donjon, capelă şi incintă, cetatea a fost ridicată în secolele XIII-XIV de familia greavilor locali, apoi a ajuns în stăpânirea comunităţii, care i-a adăugat o nouă incintă şi, în secolul XIX, a transformat donjonul în turn-clopotniţă, prin supraînălţare.

This stilting of the longitudinal arches was from the beginning almost invariable in France; structurally, it concentrated the vault thrust on a comparatively narrow vertical line, where it could be easily handled by the flying buttress; it permitted the largest possible window area in the clerestory, while the composition of lines and the delicately waved or twisted surfaces were so beautiful in themselves that, once discovered, they could not beabandoned by the logical and beauty-loving Franks.

n England vaults were generally constructed with continuous level ridges, instead of in this domical form, and the difference in height between diagonal and transverse ribs in a square vaulting compartment was equalised by " stilting " the latter or by making the diagonal rib a segment of a larger circle than that of the longitudinal and transverse ribs, which were semicircular as explained on the illustration
