Rural Transylvania is not just a place — it is a sequence of times that overlap at the edges. And a series of artefacts that have outlived those who made them, people you can now only sense faintly. You cannot separate what remains from what was; the Saxons, the church, the craft, the neighbourly bonds.
In our era, visitors are shaping the present of the village without realising it. In a way, we feel that our guests are also part of the intangible heritage. And because preserving is just as important as how you build forward, we have started a programme through which those who feel an affinity with Viscri can buy a square metre of orchard here — to help us grow a new kind of community, a group of people who support the village and are neither locals nor simply visitors.
