Alma Săsească is a settlement dating from 1289. In 1502 on the hill near Alma Săsească a gothic church with a fortified outskirt was built. You can still see the original wall-paintings and the signs of the 1718 renovation.

The XIXth century brings many changes to the church, this is the time when the baroque ceiling, altar, ambo and font are added. According to the inscription on the great bell it was made in the XVth century. The pipe-organ was made in 1791.

The church is strengthened by lacing-bars and it's surrounded by a blindage inside of which 4 towers, looking at the four cardinal points, are raising. The eastern is the entrance-gate, inside western tower, until 1914, a water reservoir had been the water-supply of the fortification. The walls have crack-shots that were also used spilling tar on the enemy. In the 1966 restoration, the church regained its original shape.
